X Off is .1 t W ' Titan Marching Band Palo Verde's marching band was a vital part of the school's tradition. On hand to add a spirited accent to pep assemblies, football and basketball games, the band encouraged en- thusiasm from the crowd. Accompanied by the routines of songleaders and twirlers at halftime during home football games, the band strove for more entertaining and varied shows for the spectators. Veterans Day Parade marked November. Band members were kept busy in perfecting both their marching ability and musical sound. Skills they learned were put to test on Band Day at the University of Arizona, where interstate bands com- peted. Titan songleaders and twirlers ioined the band in its performance. Judges awarded Palo Verde a superior rating for the fifth consecutive year. Other activities in which the band participated included the Rodeo Parade and the All-City Band Festival in February. An exchange concert between several high schools in the Phoenix area was planned for January. Selected members also took part in the Southern Arizona Instrumental Clinic and All-State Band concert. Moonlight Melodies was presented to the public in the spring. Music provided students with the opportunity to express themselves while creating a definite tone. Frank Blander found satisfaction in playing trumpet. DRUM MAJOR-Rodney Hammil
