Band Rises and Shines To Perfect Drill Skills Rise and Shine! Row leaders and drill assistants met to learn how to do it on August 21 before full band practice started August 27. From then through Sept. 8 all band members had to work hard to get ready for the fall season which was full of parades and halftime shows. They topped off all the practice with a band party cook out so everyone could get to know the new members. Football games and halftime shows all required lots of work. After school drills as well as classtime drills were necessary from Sept. 15 to Nov. 9 when football season was over. The band went to Niceville for its only out-of- town football game performance. Parades and more parades! Fall found the Redskin Band marching in the Veteran's Day parade, the North Florida Fair Parade, Homecoming parade and the Pine Tree Festi- val Parade in Perry. Auditions and contests also kept the band members working. They marched to an excellent rating in marching contest Nov. 18. For some students it was hours of practice for all-state auditions Oct. 7. Solo and ensemble contests came Feb. 24 for those who wished to see how their music ability rated with judges. Auditions for advanced band started jan. 11 and ended jan. 30 for those wishing to play in concert band. This group played in the district concert contest in Tallahassee March 23-24, hoping to play in state contest May 3, which was also held in Tallahassee this year.
