Brad Anderson sings for the stage band. The band put on such a fine performance for the student body, that they were asked to keep playing. The students of R.U.H.S. and the citizens of Rainier were very proud of this year's stage band. The band, under the direction of Mr. Bell, was honored in playing at the state capitol building in Olympia, for a drug rally in Longview, for a concert for the students of R.U.H.S., for a Senior Citizens Convention, for proms, school dances, and at the home football and basketball games. The band also made an astounding performance at the dis- trict play-offs. They earned money by having a car wash, a Christmas tree sale, and by charging a fee for some of their performances. This was all in preparation for their 3 week European tour during the latter part of July. All the members in the band worked hard Dave Leonard did a great job arranging some of the tunes the and performed great, but the most outstand- band used in their performances, ing musician was Dave Leonard. He arrang- ed alot of the numbers that helped make this year's stage band the best.
