Yes. it was the Park Center High School marching band, moving down a crowd-lined street. Directed by Mr. John Olson, the group was mask up of Park Center music students who thought band was more than just horn-tootin'. They practiced around twice a week, and marched in parades on the weekends Members had a lot of fun as they dcselopcd an intense dislike for polyester, the sweltering material their uniforms were made from However, the heat, sweat, and discomfort were all forgotten as the announcer began to read off tlse awards, many of which were first place trophies for Park Center. It seemed the mote they suffered during a parade, the more they celebrated their victory. As the season progressed, both the group and its individuals had grown through their activities The highlight of last year's season was when the band loaded up and headed west They participated twice in the Cheyenne, Wyoming Frontier Days Parade, winning two fust-place awards They worked hard for those victoties by potting on a spectacular performance while representing Minnesota in a national parade You may wonder how a group so large could work together harmoniously for such a lengthy petiod of tune. Ftont line practice started in March, and the entire season stretched into August. A certain amount of order (and sanity) was maintained by the leadership of Mr. Olson, Drum Major Steve Orvis, and Field Sergeant Nancy Woody. Their time and effort, along with everyone elscs. produced one of rise top marching units in tlse state of Minnesota. — Tatia Woldt —Julie Ness TOP P.C. marching band — ready for action.
