Marching Wildcats The marching Wildcats not only con- quered the football field but were rated high in marching and playing ability. The one hundred and four members were spirited enough to arouse praise from everyone who saw them perform. The band members worked many long and hard hours to have excellent forma- tions. Under Mr. Hewitt ' s direction, the marching band has reached perfec- tion. Mr. Hewitt drills the band and writes many of the shows. The march- ing season ended when Drum Major Fred Busch presented his baton to As- sistant Drum Major Jerry Warner, who will direct the band in next year ' s marching season. In full-dress marching regalia, Jerry Warner and Fred Busch strike a snappy pose. 140

Musical Accomplishments Achieved With Practice Since the marching season, the band has been divided into two separate bands: Concert Band and the High School Band. These two groups, along with the Orchestra are directed by Mr. James Hewitt. Since this is the first year for the High School Band, it isn ' t popularly known; however, it performs at concerts and competes for rat- ings at festivals along with the other musical groups. The Band and Orchestra members have commented that it is considered a banner day for all who participate in the ratings. Looking forward to the next festival, those competing can hardly wait to try again. The Concert Band, High School Band, and Orchestra have produced several concerts this year, including Christmas and Spring Festival programs. Surely the satisfaction of performing their best is a reward in itself to the hardworking members of these outstanding groups. 142
