Besides playing for our ' ZW' school at athletic events and e rallies, which hel ed a tremendous P P P Ben Godfrey Director iv If V-f.- .1 arm Ntrggll 9 ,T ill amount to boost our school spirit, they represented TCHS at other events as well. ' The first outing was the County Fair. Next came the colorful Band Day, which was a mass performance at the UCLA-Washington football game in the Coliseum. Bands from numerous other high schools all over the county were present at this game. An annual occasion anticipated eagerly, especially this year, was the All Western Band Review. Held in Long Beach, bands from all over Southern California participate in this event. Last year there was some discontent over the decision handed down to us by the judges, we barely missed first place because of a technical ruling. This year, however, no one complained. We took first place in our division. The San Gabriel Valley Music Festival was another interesting event. Each band had to play three songs, one song picked for them, one from the festival list, and one of their own choice. They were then rated on how they played the three songs, and those receiving a superior rating competed at the Regional Festival. Some other important events where the Rams' Band performed were as follows: The Christmas Parade on Las Tunas Boulevard, for the benefit of the local businessmen, The Temple Cit.y Camellia Parade, which has been enthusiastically received by Temple Citians every year, The Fourth Spring Band Show, in which concert bands from the San Gabriel Valley area participated, The National City Band Review, which was held near San Diego, The Music Festival at TCHS, which consisted of the orchestra, choir, and band. The Sousa Award was presented here for the most outstanding bands- men.
