Early in the year the Trojans began preparing for the annual State Contest with the hopes of gaining a superior rating. Myriad hours of practice were put forth to make this spring event a success. The presentation of shows at Junior Varsity football games, the demonstration of enthusiasm at pep rallies and basketball games, and the constant encouragement of increased school spirit were services performed by the Pep Band. The dance band was again organized for the third consecutive year, and began anticipating its various performances at dances, civic clubs, and concerts.
