HHS band goes to Silverwood By Dan Jepsen These past few months, citizens of Heppner may have noticed several fund raisers going on around town-raffles, car washes and pop can drives. This money was all raised for the Heppner High Band's trip to Silverwood. With enough money finally raised, the band was able to depart on Friday, June 19. The band, which consisted of 20 players and two chaperons, first traveled to Cheney Washington, where they visited the Eastern Washington University campus. Band members were given a tour of the campus by college ambassadors and student Brad Bullington. Students also were allowed to sit in on an EWU band rehearsal. That evening, after unpacking at the Willow Springs motel, the band went to a Jazz concert being held at the college. Three different groups played that night. Many saxophone solos were featured as well as some singing from the vocal group. The next morning, Heppner departed for the Silverwood theme park near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The band performed a concert in the theme park. They played songs including: March for Freedom. The Washington Post, Kentucky 1800, American Woman and others. For playing at the park, band members were admitted free into the theme park and enjoyed the rest of the day. Silverwood has over 50 attractions. Several of them are large roller coasters. The Timber Terror, Tremors and the Corkscrew were some of the students favorite rides. Others chose to take it easy on the more mild rides. Many students got wet on the river rides and spent part of the trip home drying out. The band left the park in the evening and finally headed home after a very long, but fun day. D O YOU KNOW ?
