Band Marches While Flags Twirl The Armstrong Marching Band had another great year. It consists of volunteers from all the bands. Mr. French and Mr. Kloos were the directors with Reid Anderson as drum major. Although most members agree it ' s a lot of fun, they do have to get up and go to early morning practices while everyone else sleeps. The Marching Band plays at pep fests and sport events. They also held a concert in the end of October and play at every home football game. They attended a University of Minne- sota Marching Band concert in mid-November. The Silks are also at each football game out there twirling their flags which they can do quite well now. The captains this year are senior, Tammi Rubin, and junior, Kristin Hall. There are eleven girls putting lots of hard work in to learn the routines and be able to perform them well.
