011 the Record THE YEAR 1953-1954 has been marked by the outstanding work of one of Central High Schoofs most active organizations, the Central High School Band. In addition to performing at all football and basketball home games, these Central musicians have participated in both state and national competition. Whafs more .... they took top honors in both events. On September 3 the band was judged the best marching and playing band in the parade opening the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. Because of that award the band was invited to march in the Cherry Blossom Festival on April 1 in Washington, D. C., the only Indiana high school band so honored. Community support of a concert given by the band in February enabled the group to raise the money to pay for the Washington trip. There, without knowing any awards were at stake, the band stepped off so sue- cessfully that the judges named the Central High School Band the best marching and playing band in the parade. A trophy was a symbol of that honor. BECAUSE THESE CENTRALITE MUSICIANS PERFORM WILL- INGLY AND UNSELFISHLY AT SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY EVENTS AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROUGHT STATE AND NATIONAL RECOGNITION TO CENTRAL HIGH, THIS 1954 MAGICIAN IS DEDICATED TO THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND AND ITS DIRECTOR, DON PARLETTE. The 19 5 4 Magician
