The Sycamore Elementary Band played twelve engagements during the school year. We first displayed our talents on November 3 , l967, by marching with the high school band at the Willows-Corning football game. Among the selections played were , Climb Every Mountain , Dixieland Parade , and On Wisconsin . By request our kind, humble ,generous , and altogether great band con- sented to play for our supporters, the P.T.A. This event took place on November 9 , l967, and most of our unlearned songs were played. The December calendar had two fun Christmas events in store for the band. First of all for the kiddies Cyes, we're thinking of you teachersl we had a Christmas parade with Santa Claus to get the season off to a jolly start CHO! HO! HOU Next came the Christmas concert with beautiful carols for everyone . Ianuary and February came with lots of events. To be exact, sixteen fun-filled sessions of practice, practice, practice! As the old saying goes, Practice Makes Perfect . Only, in our case, an EXCEPTION has been made. Practice Does NOT Make Perfect . March came roaring in like a lion with two gorgeous concerts by thirty-seven gorgeous people and twelve different gorgeous melodious instruments. One of the fantastic, almost unrealistic, concerts took place in Chico on March 16, 1968, at the Chico Music Festival. You missed it? Too bad. We played some great songs, such as The Winds of Change , Sarabande and March , and Four Sketches . Our other concert was the Glenn County Music Festival held right here in Willows KWOWU . If you had heard the concert, you would have known that it was even better than 8.
