Mi' , V 'iilhl ,ef v -Cl MHS Band Members ClashY Bangfm went the cymbals mixed with an occasional toot of the horn, and out we marched onto the field. It was our first football Game and was it exciting Ever since the first day of school we had been working hard to make that first half-time show extra special, and then too, we had to live up to our new uniforms and equipment. Throughout the entire foot- ball season we attended nine gamesg and, if I do say so, we added something special with our 'KDragnet. Leaving the home field we journeyed to Carroll- ton for the music festival. Thatls always a rather ex- citing event because we receive ratings. The selections we played were The Klaxonf' a march by Henry Fillmore: In the Cathedraln by Gabriel Pierneg and Ariane, an overture by Louis Boyer. In addition to these, several enseumbles and solists played. lt's fun to show off just a little on your own too. Besides being in the pep parade at school and others ,, . ! Sport New Uutfits such as the Fire Prevention and American Education Week parades, we gave a swap concert with Carters- ville and an annual spring concert, the highlight of the year. Our band was larger than ever before We al- most outgrew the band house. Besides our regular marching band, we had an Eighth Grade group which niet fifth period. Its purpose was to prepare students for the Marching Band into which most of them will graduate next year. We always had lots of fun, too. At the end of the year we had a big picnic at Grant Park. The boys brought the drinks and the girls brought the sand- wiches. Everyone had a good time. We were all tired after our day with the director from Atlanta, but we felt that we had learned a lot. Our chance to show our parents what we had accomplished came the night we played our festival numbers and several others at PTA.
