Both the marching and the concert bands have won many honors during the year. Last spring on April 3, our concert band went to Hartford City to participate in the district band contest and won a first rating. Just a week later they came home from the state contest at North Man- chester with another first to their credit. We are expecting them to do as well this year. During the fall the marching band was particularly busy. They marched at many of our football games both at home and away. On October 31, they made a creditaile showing in the state marching contest at Columbia City. They hurried fiome from that event to lead the parade for the New Haven Halloween Festival. On November 11, in Fort Wayne, they won second place in the Armistice Day Parade and later made a good appearance in the Balloon Parade which opened the Christmas shopping season. Probably the outstanding event for the marching band was their trip to Indianapolis where they represented the Fort Wayne dis- trict of the Knights of Pythias in an all-state conclave.
