'tnwiff . xi 45 nw MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC-The 1961 version of the Monsignor Bonner Marching Band halt at attention following the finale of one of their intricate drills. 'YIIIAYIU XII Without A Song the day would never end. At least for the Bonner hand member no day ever ends without his hour or two of practice. But that faithful practice is what has made the Bonner Band famous in the area. It is well known not only for music hut also for its well executed precision drills and its uspit and polish military appearance.

This distinction was awarded to the Bonner Band after placing third in the All-Catholic competition.
