THE BAND PLAYS ON
The Northwest Michigan Band Festival held on April 30, 1940, the Big Rapids High School Band playing at a basketball tournament in 1937, and four baton twilers modeling the dress of yesteryears should certainly bring back some memories, particularily to those who knew the twirlers. Joan Tonkin, Bernadine Mehl, Florence Franck and Kathleen Mehl. (Pioneer file photos)
