Tzena, Tzena, Tzena really sharp! Three nights a week for practice-what a workout! ! ! the annual New Kensington Band Festival was a big success and the W.T.H.S. Band gave a fine performance. The loss of nine band instruments in a robbery at the school was a great loss to the school and the student owners of the instruments - but the spirit of the land is good and the students training in the grades now will add to the band in future years.
