Such was the case for the mighty Wolfpack Band. The Band of '78-'79 attested to the fact that West abounded in first-class musical talent. Literally under the direction of Director Mr. Wiese and Captain Mike Flodin, the Band spent considerable time proving its musical merit. Aligned in flawless formation, the Band marched at football games, the Special Olympics and played for home basketball games. The Band played over six power-packed concerts, sometimes combining the Stage Band with the Concert Band. In addition to the Christmas Concert and the musical montage of Music Festival concerts, the Band played a November concert and used the 5700.00 in proceeds to purchase Thanksgiving turkeys for the Salvation Army. To finance their tour of South-central Alaska, Band members sold ice cream and candy, made inventories, washed cars, and played in a Christmas music marathon. Look forward to something different in '79-'80. Mr. Wiese plans to organize two Stage Bands which will focus on Fortyish Dance Band and Swing style music , while the Concert Band will be geared to contemporary literature Cmusicj . In regards to a future Wolfpack Band, Mr. Wiese commented, lt should be a strong band next year since we're back to Seniors . .iii - Xia A - .
