The Centennial celebration is coming up and as of now there is little more thai, an assumption thata band will march in the parade. There will be lots of horses, a few floats and the rodeo court. How about that band? There won't be another Centennial for a few years in Heppner, so I think we should make an all-out effort to form a good, large band. Tbe cen tennial band represents alot of people through alot oi years, and a centennial band should be comprised of peo ple of all ages, at least up to 100 years old. The bands you see In parades in Port land, Pasadena, and Pendle ton for example, are a ma jority of young people, usual ly participating under a compulsory band program. You take high school band, so you have to march in the parade. How would it be to have a volunteer Heppner Centenn ial Band? There may never be another one like it, or there may never be one. I have in mind volunteers from anywhere in the county, and outside If possible; volun county, and outside if possib le; volunteers of high school and college students, volun teers of high school nessmen and young and es pecially old people (includ ing those over thirty). May be your whole family can play in it!
