Band Shows Potential This year, the band underwent many changes. One of the biggest was the size, Compared to last year's 14, this year's band had 35 members. The majority of the newcomers were from the sixth and seventh grades. Another major cha nge was the director. After five years of directing the band, Craig Jones decided that he needed to devote more time to his Bib le classes and the chorus. The new director, Patricia Cox, directed the first band at the Academy. The new uniforms inspired the band to play more marches than were formerly played; however, they still played the usual sp irit raisers and fight solngs at the pep rallies and football games. The Pep Band continued this practice during basketball season, while the Concert Band "tuned in" to Christmas music. To close the semester, an evening program was given with the chorus.~ - John / .
