TWIRLERS Sharon Brady, Jan Cork, Marilyn Winter, Marilyn Edwards Mr. Wicker's up and coming proteges, the Junior Band is now in its second year of existence and proudly lists forty-eight members on its roll. To qualify, one must be taking lessons on an instrument and be enrolled in either the seventh or eighth grades. Upon graduating from the eighth grade into high school a person who has proved his capability to Mr. Wicker's satisfaction is promoted into the high school band. This is the second year that the high school band is made up entirely of high school students. This idea promotes stiff competition, thus the result is a more talented group of musicians.
