The big event of the year though, was the trip to Walt Disney World in Lakeland, Florida during spring vacation. Soon after returning home, the Jazz Ensemble held a performance in Williamsburg, and the Variety Show and Spring Awards Concert closed up the year. The THS Bands of the 74-75 school year certainly did a great job. OFFICERS: Drum Major — Robert Diggles, President — Dennis Holland, Vice President — Mary Beth Edwards, Secretary — Betsy Johnson, Kathy Bickett, Librarian — Donna Rowe. The Tiger Band is a source for true talent. Drummer, Dennis Holland, is caught by the camera during stage band practice. Percy Ironmonger, loved by everyone, can always be depended on to provide entertainment for any event that comes along.
