S mphonic Band A far cry from St. Louis, however, the Symphonic Band continued their record of straight ones in every con- test attended. Marching at Fort Hays State, and K-State in fall competition proved to be exciting and successful for the Cougar Marching Band. Salina fans enjoyed the band at home games and at a Kansas Wesleyan game. The Wichita State Music Festival gave the band the opportunity to im- press judges and other bands by per- forming two numbers and sight read- ing one piece. Eleven students were selected to be in the state band as a final stag- ing the band toured several elemen- tary schools.

Concert Band The Pride of South High! Concert Band once again attended the Wi- chita State Music Festival and re- tained their first division placing which they have held for the two years they have participated. Consisting of a record number of ninety-seven participants ranging from freshmen to seniors, the band performed at pep assemblies and basketball games. Two major con- certs were given, one in the fall and one in the spring. Several grade schools were fortunate to have our band play for them. More encouraging than previous years, Mr. Vic Sisk said he had worked with a good bunch of kids who were able to play more difficult music and defeat more difficult com- petition. fait 'vm.ui 3 t ,J .jg x 5 .
