The marching band had a busy
schedule this year trying to "pack in"
not only regular half time shows at
home football games, but also march­
ing at the state fair, and two marching
competitions. They travelled to Clarin­
da, Iowa for a field and marching
competition where they attained a
second place. The highlight of the
remains on the side lines to do hand drills, season was a first place finish at
with their two-tone gloves flashing
then white. Septemberfest.
During the marching season band
director Allan Amandus generally
called practices at 7 a.m.
"Every once in awhile he was nice
and gave us practices at 7:30," said
sophomore Bob Sullivan.
Said junior Chris Ahl in regards to
early practice, "I definitely think we
needed the practice."
The band was not without humor
this year. They did a dance (including
chorus line kicks) to the song “Little
Brown Jug" while the percussion
section accompanied them. For the
band, it was truly a "prize-act" year.
