Youthful band gains experience The band consisted of eighteen members, half of whom were Junior High age or younger. Under the Direction of Mr. Gal- lion, they gained experience playing for pep rallies and games, and performing in half- time shows and the Homecom- ing parade. After Homecoming, the band participated in the Veterans’ Day Program and the Christmas Show. The musical year concluded with prepara- tions for the annual District Music Contest in May. The band will lose only one senior member, Bev Scholl. Top left. Drum Majorette, Brenda Pelster, leads the band’s performance at the Homecoming half- time show.
