The School

House Rocks;

Band Marches

To Superiority

For the m arching band, their test was
apparent. Their goal, as in year’s past, was
to finally receive the superior rating at the
State m arching competition. They were not
disappointed. The Ralston Regim ent made
school history when they received a superior
rating at State. The winter guard and con­
cert band also had tests of their own. The
w inter guard’s rendition of “School House
Rock” earned them superior ratings and the
concert band perform ed their pieces well
enough to receive an excellent rating at Dis­
tricts. M embers of each group were given a
survey so that those of you who want to ob­
tain knowledge about those wacky instru­
mentalists can now die happy!!

learned that if you really put your mind to it, you can
do anything. Katie Wilbur-11
