Precision marching With spirited marches played in the stands and brilliant half-time shows executed on the field, the Gib- son High Band is a vital part of all home football games. The band also travels to several out-of-town games. This organization appears in many parades in this area and provides music for other civic and school func- tions. After football season, a Christ- mas concert is prepared. Then the di- rector, Mr. Joe R. Daniel, concentrates on the state band contest at which bands are judged in the concert, marching, and sight-reading divi- sions. In Junior high an aspiring band member first joins the beginner band.
