Next year both bands will move into their new band room, which will provide more privacy and a better performing atmosphere. 140-Concert Band

The characteristics of a march- ing band student are dedication, talent, coordination, and depend- ability. The marching band prac- ticed as much as many recognized sports to put together artistic shows. Their talents were enjoyed at the Tulelake and Merrill parades and also at the Snowflake Festival. Besides parades, the band marched at all home varsity footbaH games. Jack Heaton led the group as drum major. Jack commented. The duty of the drum major is to help the marchers to get in step and to keep the beat of the music. Also the drum major is the first helper to the director. As we give recognition to our sports athletes, let's keep in mind the other activities that contribute to our outstanding school. At your next football game, thank a band member for the performance which helps to lead us in school spirit. MARCHING BAND MEMBERS FRONT: Dan Lunsford. Tiffany Stanfill, Kristin Shimck. Jenny Payne.
