Bond director sparks .a new sense of pride The improvement of S.C.'s band this year credits at great deal of its success to Mr. Larry Hoover, band director. Mr. Hoover is in his second year, and during this time, the band has gained viable respect through its progress. For instance, the band did extremely well in class double D competition, which is for inexperienced bands. Bachelor Hoover pres- ently resides in Clarks- ville, although he origi- nally hails from Bradford, Ohio. Majoring in music, Mr. Hoover attended the world famous music department at Indiana University in Bloomington. live been interest- ed in teaching music since about junior high, stated the band director. Formerly, he taught at a school named! Barr-Reeve, in Montgomery, In. Presently, he is instructing one class at the senior high, two at the junior high, and one at each of the two grade schools, Sellersburg and Stout. When asked to comment on his future plans for-improving the S.C. band, the director concluded; ttI dont think the S.C. band is as bad as some think. I plan on having them march more in the future. ' By: Sheri McManus S.C. Morchers are on parade accompanied by a new image Bond is aided by Director Hoover Dedication, cooperation, and determination are three ingredients that make up Silver Creeks prideful band, which has gone through the change from once low moral to the heights of a truly spirited band. Band directors have come and gone. The latest count was four band directors, Mr. Parkey, Ms. Barber, Mr. Bean, and Mr. Hoover, the present director, in the past six years, which might account for the bands dilemma. The S.C. musicians spent many hours doing what they do best; playing music, according to Mr. Larry Hoover, band director. ttThere was a two-week band camp before school started this year. Each section would come in and practice to try and eliminate their mistakes, added the director. The band continued to be active with two field competitions and two concerts. They participated in the Booster Parade and performed during basketball games. The field competitions were two events the S.C. band was not fully accustomed to. Their last field competition was four years ago, with band director Parkey. This year, however, Hoover motivated the band and entered them in Charlestown, Sept. 22, and Columbus, Sept. 29. tContinued on page 253
