Band Needs Money For Minnesota Trip in three months! This is the awesome task that faces Wheeling High asyard winning band and drill tea mif they are to participate in the Minneapolis Aquatennial and Canadian tour July 16-23. The District 214 school board has agreed to allow the Wheeling band and drill team to accept an invitation to participate in the Grande Parade and the Torchlight I'arade of the Aqua- In permitting the tour by the band members and 43 drill team members, the board reversed a long-standing policy which prohibited District 214 students from participation in any tours. NOW THAT the favorable board decision has been made, the prime concern of band and drill team members and parents is raising the necessary tunds. The Wheeling Instrumental League, composed of band parents and other interested adults, is expected to raise 95 per cent of the portion, according to Dean DePoy, W.H.S. band director.

The remaining five per cent will be procured by the band members 1 ves through their participation in concerts and parades. The group has already accepted an invitation to march and perform in the Mount Prospect Fourth of July parade. Wheeling and area businessmen will also be contacted by the parent groups for contributions via pledge cards. DePoy said that the band members have already raised $1,000 toward the trip. A MEETING has been set Tuesday, April 20, at 7 p.m.

in the WHS cafeteria for the purpose of organizing drill team parents, according to Linda Markulin, faculty sponsor. A projected money-r a i i ng activity for the drill team is a May spring dance in the WHS parking lot, which would include all District 214 schools. In respect to fund raising, the board stipulated that no school funds are to be used, and students are not expected to be asked to contribute toward the trip. WHEELING band and drill team members will travel to the Virginia-Eveleth-Gilbert area i in northern Minnesota, to Fort William-Port Arthur in Canada, and to Grand Marais, on (the northern shore of Lake Superior.
