The Varsity Band is an integral part of school life.
No one can imagine a football game or a parade without
the marching red and gray. The same band also performs
overtures and show tunes in concert and on tour.
This year's calendar of events for the eighty bandsmen
included football games, a winter and spring concert,
three parades, basketball games, IHSA Solo and Ensemble
Contest, a band clinic, and the annual spring
tour.
The highlight of the 1968-69 band season was the
tour to Quincy, Illinois. For two days in April, the
horn tootin' Rebels traveled, enjoyed themselves, and
played for their suppers across the state. In return, the
Quincy Band delighted all the Rebels with an assembly
at South on their own tour.
To be part of the Varsity Band, a prospective member
must "try out." Those who don't make it, are placed in
the Junior Varsity Band. Once in the Varsity Band, all
members are required to "challenge," that is, play before
the director for a position in his respective section.
[See page 53 for the names. Otherwise, you can hover your
mouse under the chin to see a band member's name. I need
help with some of the 69_052 names
