Band members are 'busier students' With all the different events, they're busier than any of the students participating in athletic events, said band director David Erickson about his band students. The band had three concerts during the 1981-82 school year. They were held during the Christmas season fDec. 81, mid-winter fEeb. 151 and in the spring CMay 31, The attendance at the concerts increased by almost 50 percent according to Erickson. There were a number of competitive events such as the Seacrest competition at Lincoln East, state marching contest at Pershing auditorium, and the district music contest. Competition usually included different classes of bands and involved as many as 80 bands. Handling concessions during athletic events and holding a dinner concert at the city auditorium helped boost the band's trip fund to approximately 36,800 In spite of two good years at YHS, Erickson resigned after the 1981-82 school year. I feel like in the six years that I've been teaching, Ilve taught ten because of all the events. I guess I'd just like to try something different for a whilef, said Erickson. by Deb Moyer f s f rj in ' 1' as 5 s .urr if cc, . .X i at . -1 :aw s tl X.. if -t N -safer 11 if WN- up L it as X is ics.. ..-s g Z t ... fs - ..
