Here they form a dollar sign. Then going still further to make U. S. Grant proud of them again the band came home from the Midwest City marching contest with a trophy and a 2+ rating. Early morning drill practice on songs, and much extra work, were hard at the time but when it was all over band members really had something to be proud of. Director, Mr. Don Todd, not only encourages members to become fine musicians but also to be good sportsmen.
