By Mesheka Davis AHS has been recognized as having one of the finest bands around,and to prove this point look at the number of awards displayed in a twelve foot trophy case in the foyer of the band room. There were many hard and long practices en dured, but little did the students know that the big pay-off would come not only with trophies but a weU respected reputation also. Starting in early October, the band traveled to Ledford, competing against many larger schools. The band was able to score an excellent rating; they also took second place Drum Major & Auxiliary. With high hofws and spirits the band traveled the next weekend to Northwest Guild ford where they would receive a rating of Supe rior and bring home six trophies. But the most outstanding achievement by the band this year was taking home the Grand Champion Trophy during Festival in Williamsburg, Virginia. Mr. Hedrick was proud to take such a well behaved group and he comments by saying “The band this year was young and inexperienced, but despite all, they exceeded all their expectations and achieved great success. I am very proud of them and what they accomplished. We had a great year!” Mr. Hedrick was also awarded the Award of Distinction for having such a fine bunch of students. The Albemarle High School Band has rejjre- sented our school in a very dignified way. Congratulatations for a job well done. 'V the Project Graduatton "'fV 1 grMt years!
