They played at all Of the home football games upon the bleachers and did many half-time shows. Their last one was a special one. The lights inside the football stadium were turned off and the members danced with lights and marched into dif- ferent formations. Besides trying to make this year a suc- cess, they worked hai'd to make next year even better. They had the annual chili supper to raise money for 'new instruments and music.
