I was in this band. I played French Horn. It was the year I graduated.
The first three selections were recorded at the UIL Concert Band Contest. We received 1st Division grades across the board, combined with an equal performance at the Marching portion of the UIL competitions, the term 'Sweepstake' applies. Dan Screiber died a few years ago doing the two things he loved best. While flying home from giving a clinic to a school band his plane made fatal contact with the ground.
