Hornet Band Lays Effort
On Line In Competition
"Our kids left everything they had on that stage," Director David McEn-
tyre said of his Hornet Band's effort in the UIL sight reading and concert
competition, held last week in Pam pa.
The band received a II (two) rating in both categories.
"We really were disappointed" about the concert rating, the director
added. "The band performed exceptionally well and I felt we had a good chance
to get a I (one). Our kids felt good about it, too."
All three judges were complimentary of the THS band’s concert perform-
ance. One gave it a I and "was really complimentary." The other two judges
rated the performance as a II and also had kind remarks although they pointed
out "a few minor problems."
The local musicians "played a couple of hard numbers."
Only three I ratings were awarded in this category.
Tulia's band "played with confidence in sight reading" but their director
admitted they had minor difficulties playing in the correct keys. "Any time you
have a lot of young kids, they have some trouble with sight reading," McEntyre
remarked.
Competition was last Tuesday and Wednesday, with the THS group
performing on the first day.
BAND LEADERS—Saul Reyes (left) was recipient of the Outstanding
Bandsman Award and the THS Award went to Steven Rossi at the
Hornet Band Banquet. Winners of the two top band awards, they are
also drum majors. Director David McEntyre said the awards are based
on playing, leadership and example. —Staff photo

Obviously we are not versed on the
entire scenario and therefore would be
out of place to attempt to make judge-
ments.
It is, however, nothing but good man-
ners to attempt to make newcomers
welcome and help ease their transition
into a new community.....regardless of
that person’s age. We know first hand
that a relocation can be traumatic, par-
ticularly for those who have resided in
their former home for a significant pe-
riod of time and/or have been active
there.
Kindness toward a newcomer seems
an excellent opportunity for a generous
helping of Southern hospitality.

WHO SAYS ATHLETICS,
ACADEMICS DON’T MIX?
This stuff about academics and ath-
letics not mixing just won't fly.
Many of the same names crop up
when one examines the list of UIL re-
gional qualifiers in academics and track.
Three prime examples are Saul
Reyes, Darin Via and Paula Shannon, all
district track champions who also ad-
vanced to the Region I trials in literary
events.
BUSY DAY FOR YOUTH
Youngsters had a busy day Saturday,
particularly that morning when the bike-
a-lhon, youth baseball registration and
district junior high track meets were
held. I believe there was also a Girl
Scout function.
The track meet, which started Friday
afternoon and continued through Satur-
day, drew a good crowd.

RECYCLED NEWSPRINT
An array of questions about recycling
arc emerging as the public becomes
interested in the subject. In response to
one of these questions, The Herald has at
times in the past been printed on re-
cycled newspaper but is not at presenL
Priming plants with which this news-
paper is associated hold a contract with
a paper company which is committed to
recycling. The firm has committed $85
million to build a 400-ton-a-day mill
which is scheduled for completion in the
fall of 1992.
CHINK SAID AMARILLO HAD
FOOTBALL TEAM IN 1919
Despite the fact that some people
contend Amarillo High School didn't
field a football team until 1923, Chink
Tucker said Tulia beat AHS in a 1919
game.
Amarillo scored on the first play but
the Hornets came back for a 12-7 vic-
tory. AHS might not have been known
as Sandies at that time.
NOT MORE PHEASANTS
It seems that we have spotted more
pheasants along the road in recent
weeks. Does this mean the population is
increasing?
Not so, says Game Warden Julius
Stephens.
Without a sufficient amount of water,
food and shelter, the birds are out hunt-
ing. Consequently, they are more visible
to motorists.
While CRP land has been advanta-
geous for some birds, it has not helped
pheasants, according to Julius. There
arc now more predators, but fewer
pheasants.
