How many sharps in the B major scale? . . . What does 'crescendo agitato' mean? . . . How fast is 96? Band members frequently asked ques- tions similar to these during their daily group and sectional practice sessions. Under the guidance of Ted Rush, the 68 member band bolstered school spirit when they led the students in the school song as well as other numbers at San- dia's football games. Concerts open to the public were presented in the Theater in November, February and April.
