We Start With a Toot and a Bang, then Music Fills the Air The band, an organization of which we are truly proud, is a great asset to our school. Due to the willingness and hard work of each member and the competent leadership of Mr. Don Sexton, the hand has made much progress. In both District and State Contests our hand members have gained a lot of recognition. The busy schedule of the hand includes the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts, the annual joint concert with Freehurg High School Band, basketball games and many marching engagements. The ”Jackettes,” composed of nine girls who together spell out the words “New Athens,” add a great deal to the appearance of .the band. The girls precede the band in all the parades and perform many peppy marching drills. Guys and gals with the Christmas spirit. 15
