Mr. Smith, band prove themselves multi-talen ted ln the middle of July, band members received a letter from Mr. Smith asking them to come to summer band practice. Everyone met at 0'Gorman at 8:00 for the start of many, long rehearsals. When the clock chimed three times, everyone eagerly headed for home. Mr. Smith knew that it would be a challenge to teach seventy-two members and sixteen flag corp members a difficult routine, but things happened quickly. New songs were sounding better, rusty notes became ones of great tone, and along with all this musical harmony, new friendships developed , proclaimed director Jim Smith. After many long hours of practice, they decided the time had come to hold a picnic. After loading everything, they marched off to the park, where band members planned to attack Mr. Smith with water balloons. Mr. Smith knew that the ultimate challenge would be just around the comer. This would really test his patience, teaching seventy-two band members and sixteen flags a difficult routine couldn't be easy. Their routine originated three years ago. Now that school had started they could no longer practice all day. So from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M. the band members rehearsed. They became accustomed to wet, soggy shoes, freezing hands and feet, and hair that left something to be desired. The decision had Hnally been made, the hard work had Hnally paid off Praise they received at the tive home football game perfor- mances and two Dakota Dome performances. The band decided that the hard work finally paid off when they heard the applause at the five football games and two Dakota Dome performances. av 'avi ZR
