The concert band performed in both the Christmas Arts Festival and the spring concert, besides going to District Festival at Hudson and receiving straight II ' s. Representatives were sent to Solo Ensemble and also to Honors Band. This was the first year for Honors Band. It was comprised of the top bandsmen in the county and they performed with the Massed Band at the Massed Band concert in February. The Sr. and Jr. bands also combined to play at com- mencement in May. On May 12, the band awards banquet was held in the high school gym. Medals were distributed and members received bars, pins or letters, according to their grade. Kathy Reimschisel received the John Phillips Sousa award and the Richard Phillips Band Award was presented to Lyn- ette Addleman.

If a person were to have walked on to the stage during 6th hour last year, they might have thought they ' d walked into bedlam. Because that was the rehearsal hour for the Jr. band. At over 70 members strong, the sound they created widened the cracks in the back wall every day. Jr. band members spend a lot of their time in training for Sr. band. They have marching practice, both on the road and the field. They perform at all the concerts and send representatives to Solo Ensemble. Due to conflicts, that was not possible this year. The band went to District Festival at Leslie and received a II. Members participated in fund-raisers such as the walk-a-thon and the candy sale.
