The students were separated into groups according to the kind of musical instrument played. These groups practiced for a period of two hours, at which time some individual instruction was given. In the afternoon the groups united into one group in order that they might practice for the concert which was presented in the evening.

On March 10, there were eight band members—Clifford Bergeron, Glenna Landreth, Joyce Brommer, Sally Landreth, Nancy Whipple, Darlene Reilly, Joan Meyers, and Paul Lillengreen—who went to Wilbur to participate in the 100 piece Bi-County band. This band clinic was directed by Mr. Smith and Mr. Hallgrimson from Eastern Washington College of Education. Practice of the mass band was held all afternoon and the band was then presented in an inspiring concert that evening.
