Striving for perfection in their performances at various school functions, the Western band worked hard and practiced many long hours under the directions of Mr. Hurley and Mr. Moore. Several activities were accompanied by the band, such as halftime shows, several concerts and even background music for the spring musical. Obtaining new uniforms this year was also a big event. Through the persistence and hard work of the Band Boosters Organization, the purchase of the new uniforms was finally ac- complished, raising the spirits of not only the band members, but also of the whole student body. 1.
