Concert band members include

the southeastern section of the
United States at an important
event. It is also the first North
Carolina band to receive the honor
of appearing before a foreign
ceiling bandmasters’ association.
Band president, Me3Tessa Hugh
es, says that if the teachers notice
that band members seem to be
trying harder than usual, it may
be in view of the fact that failure
in academic subjects will certainly
mar his chances of a wonderful
trip.
Robin Farr and Pen Waldron set the scene tor the theme for the
Midwinter’s, ‘‘Stairway to the Stars.”
