Until the semester change came, when different classes could be used, the bands were forced to make the best of it by using separate rooms. This schedule was rather difficult to work with, however the members were anxious enough about the upcoming Christmas concert on December 16 to get their music ready. The concert went well and they even collected an offering from the audience for their adopt-a-family and received over 8200. The next event to prepare for was the Pre-UIL concert on April 2. The purpose of this concert was to assist their preparation for UIL that was scheduled for April 7 and 8. Although work was still needed on the UIL pieces, the concert turned out well. The U.I.L contest time arrived quickly and the bands travelled to Trinity High School for their sightreading and concert competition. All three bands were rated well by the judges, but the honors band scored the best with sweepstakes, which means division 1 ratings from all the judges. On April 29, the bands left after school on three different flights headed for Albuquerque, New Mexico. There they boarded four buses for Durango, Colorado. The Durango Fine Arts Festival at Fort Lewis College took place on the next evening. In the competition between 4A bands from, New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas, Richland's honors band earned the first place trophy and the symphonic band came in second place in their division, although no second place awards were given. Saturday the jazz band entered the jazz competition and were awarded the grand champion trophy. The rest of the day was spent at the ancient cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde. The next morning everyone packed for the trip back home. Although many things went wrong on the trip it was a growing experience for the members who had made it through together. The final concert of the year was held on May 14th. The performance was filled with the unusual music that Richland has become known for, as far as high school bands are concerned, and was rewarded, as usual, by the reaction of the audience. 124 Dggign by Emily Starnes.
