PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT On Saturday, November 1, 1947, our band traveled to I. S. N. U. at Normal, Illinois, to participate in a homecoming festival. The trip was made in two char- tered buses. After marching in the par- ade, our band performed on the football field in competition with 11 other bands, and was named the .best playing band and the best marching band, for which they received two very beautiful trophies. Pat Devero, our majorette, also won a first nfedal in the field of band majorettes. After lunch the band members were guests of the University at their annual homecoming football game, at which time the honors were announced and the tro- phies were awarded. 14

H. S. band. Begin- ning in the fall, the sixty-two piece band participated in all of the home football games at which times they furnished music and colorful formations b-etween halves. Following the football season, the band traveled to Normal, where they par- ticipated in the University Homecoming Festival. During the basketball season, they furnished music and entertainment before the games and between halves. In the early part of March, the band was in- vited to play for a meeting of the D. A. R. held in the Streator Armory. May 7, the band completed their year's work, by pre- senting their annual concert.
