The band, meeting five days a week instead of three days as in previous years, showed much progress and improvement. It serves the school as a pep band by playing at games and pep rallies, as a marching band in parades, and as a concert band at its annual Fall, Christmas, and Spring concerts. A highlight of the band ' s year was their performance at the half-time of the Homecoming game. They had practiced many weeks to perfect their formations; a rocket, a face, and a mountain.
