I know we had practices throughout the summer for parades at the town homecomings and then we practiced in the evenings closer to school for the band show at the fair. Then we worked in band class and after school to get ready for football game halftimes. We would usually use the same show for a couple of weeks. One show would be for a home game and then the same one for an away game.
I remember we would get extra points for helping to make noodles for the food tent at the fair and we had to clean up tables for the food tent also. What those points were for I have no clue. I think the football guys were supposed to sign up for that also since the food tent was run by the Music Boosters and the Athletic Boosters. Do you remember that at all?
After football was over we started working on things for the Christmas Concert, then district contests and state contests if we were lucky! After that we got ready for the Spring concert, and graduation.
Barb probably has something more specific written down. She kept very good scrapbooks over the years.
The most I remember about it, was it was fun!!!!! Another thing I remember... we used to practice on the Rawson field because the guys had football practice at the high school. Can't remember if we did this as seniors or not.This particular thing happened as a freshman. I used to get a ride to Rawson with Pam Baumier and we would call ahead to Winnies and they would have hamburgers ready for us when we got there. That way we weren't starved to death after practice!!! Did we really need it? Who knows!!!
