Band Travels To Colorado On Annual Trip The focal point of activities for the High School bands this year, as in the past, was its yearly trip. Much more ambitious than in the past, the bands, in addition to all their march- ing and extra-curricular activities, spent much time and effort raising the needed funds for a lengthy tour of Colorado, includ- ing Denver and Colorado Springs. As usual, the band used such activities as fruit and Stanley sales to help raise the required funds. The May tour lasted a total of six days. 22
