Lead Feather airlin bases in bandroom Mass confusion takes over hat did you do if you had extra time on your hands? If you were like most people, you hung out. Before the bell rang and post-session you could find groups of people standing in the hall, joking at the grad table, or talk- ing with teachers in their rooms. Stu- dents gathered to consult on home- work, talk with friends from other towns, or just to relieve boredom. Yet one hangout stood out among the rest - the bandroom. The bandroom was an all day hang- out. Students could go there during study halls and practice their music in the privacy of a practice room or lis- ten to another's music.

One of their major projects was the remodeling of the bandroom into their own plane. Well, the whole thing started when Steve and I did it one time just in the bandroom in front of Mr. Nash and a few other people, Bruce said. They seemed to like the idea so Bruce, Steve, and Darryl decided to try it out on first period band. We set it up the night before so we were ready for band, Darryl said. Bruce commented on the students' responses: Everyone knew about it. We turned all the seats facing one direction and put up no smoking signs, which emphasized their only rule for passengers - Don't smoke unless youire on fire. 'tSome students thought it was pret- ty funnyg some of them just sort of stared. There were a couple, of course, who paid no attention and didn't know what was going on.
