During the 1963 summer the band put on eight summer concerts, played a Labor Day concert and marched in the Labor Day parade. Leading the parades were Monica Becker, head majorette, and Linda Dunker and Brenda Kusik as twirlers. As soon as school started, they began preparing for the four football games they marched in and their Ak-Sar-Ben show. On September 21 the sixty-three members came home from Ak-Sar-Ben competition with their fourth consecutive superior rating. This wasn't the only honor the SHS musicians took, for on November 2 the band was a trophy winner at State Marching Contest in Lincoln. Again it was their fourth consec- utive win. The Winter Concert, District Music Contest, where another superior was awarded, the Spring Musicale, the Building Dedication and the Memorial Day Service were other events which the band participated in. Then in May the members were honored at the annual Band Banquet. Don Lentz, director of the University of Nebraska Band, spoke and forty-six band letters were awarded.
