MHS Band Participates in l , 4 Many Activities Z .WALES A familiar sight at parades. the band is being led by the maiorettes dur- ing the Homecoming Parade. The McComb High School Band was organ- ized as a part of the high school curriculum in 1928. Interest in this activity has increased throughout the years and the band. which now numbers seventy-five members, is the pride of our school and community. The Band Department includes the concert band, junior band. and instrumental classes. The Concert Band has complete symphonic instrumentation. and the rare and large instru- ments, owned by the school. are valued at S22,000.00. The uniforms are also the property of the school. The band participates in many activities throughout the year. such as parades, pep as- sefnblies and football games. The members do a lot of hard work during football season preparing for half-time shows. Their work. however, doesnt end at the close of football season, for then they begin preparing for the annual Spring Concert and the State Band Con- test where their rating is consistently high. Much of the success of the band is due to the able direction of Mr. Herbert Dieckmann who has been our band director for a number of years.
