Band creates formations in Tag Day recognition Beginning the school year with an effective dis– play of original maneuvers, the band demonstrated new marching techniques and stirred school spirit as it performed at the home football games in the fall. In special recognition of Tag Day, band members created appropriate formations-a boat and a bicycle, showing trave l in foreign lands. The band also par– ticipated in the Hallowee n and Memorial Day parades. After football season, the band concentrated on a program of scheduled concerts. Comprising a br~ss e nsemble of trumpets, trombones, and French horns, Scott Ackerson, Toni Lewis, Shera DeLello, Joel Sheesley, Cheryl Bateman, David Yage r, and Mary Nevill presented traditional carols at the Christmas concert. Eleven band members participated in the County Music Festival band. Other instrumentalists competed for ratings in the state music festival in May.
