The Roosevelt Band. Band participates in parades, concerts The instrumental music department had a fine year that saw many individual and group awards being received. ' West Side Story ' was one of those events where various segments in the department had a chance to work together — and with great success. The 1977-78 school year will be one that is long remembered, said Mr. Harold Jansen, band director. The marching band went to State Marching Contest and received a II rating. The band received a I rating in State Large Group Contest. There were also many parades and con- certs in which the band participated throughout the year. The band executive committee included Clark West, presi- dent; Tom Rutt, vice-president; Deirdre Robinson, secretary; and Amy Fobes, treasurer.
