Jump on the Bandwagon!
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!
Depending on your imme
diate response I will see what
facilities can be persuaded
