In 1966, 67, and 68 the band recorded three albums involving the concert band and the stage band under the direction of Mr. James Swinney. They can be accessed here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NmgGxg_rF-Il-iFor6eKaS4vcpbDYFiN?usp=sharing Recollections of recording the album by Luther Nossett, Class of 69: The band was a much more modest operation in the 1960s, but we did OK for a group of country kids. The sound quality of the recordings is not the best, but these were recorded in the auditorium, not in a sound studio. A few of the members have made careers in the music industry as band directors, performers, and one sound engineer in Nashville. There are stage band recordings with should bring some smiles, since some of the songs are reflective of the popular tunes of the day.

For newcomers to the sport, no experience is necessary to join and beginners are warmly welcomed. We will teach you all you need to know! An interest meeting is typically held in November. Optional December practice sessions are designed for beginners to learn the basics and recommended for those interested in Leadership and/or planning to audition for Advanced Features.
