The band embarked on April 1 to spend the next three days on their first tour out of the state since 1957. After much trying the band had gained permission from the school board on the condition that they earned their own trip and took no more than two school days. Once the school year had started, the band went to work selling school patches, (which were new this year), the annual birthday calendars, and collaborated with the concert choir in giving a Harvest Holiday Harvest Pop Concert to the public. Activity hour was well filled for band members who blew and drummed to perfection. 18
