Band sponsors, parents and other residents were concerned what the reaction would be under the direc- tion of a new leader. The school board appointed Richards, who had been band di- rector at Pittston Area for five years, as the new director. He would be assisted by his wife Maureen, who was also a musician. Both of the Richards are members of the or- chestra directed by Miliauskas at Luzerne County Community Col- lege. The Richards had some concern as well. How would the students react to new leadership? What about the Band Sponsors, would they cooperate? They took a deep breath and stepped into their new positions. To their surprise, the transition from one director to another was a smooth one. The number of mem- bers remained approximately the same, 60 band members and 85 total with the band front which includes flags, silks, twirlers, etc. Maureen focuses on the band front and Ed on the band. There vare other instructors as well, Todd Macocci for color guard; Dave Gambal, drums; Jerry Baldauf, drill; Amy Walp, general assistant; Lynn Gabel helped set up shows, and Bob Sando helped the band during the summer. : “Despite all this, the dedication, work and cooperation on the part ofthe students and parents is what made ouryear a success,” Richards said. “We couldn't have done it all without the band parents, they were excellent.” It didn't take the band members and their directors very long to prove to residents that they were as capable as bands in the past. They entered competition in Berwick, Sept. 16, and came home selected to attend the District 9 Orchestra Festival to be held on January 24-27 at the Susquehanna Community High School. The two Lake-Lehman students will be among 101 dedicated musicians from 38 schools in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Shown from left, Scott Brown, trombone and Sara Yoblonski, oboe.

DENMON Staff Writer . Byan 8-1 vote, the Dallas School Board approved a resolution to take on debt of $2.3 million to renovate the high school. Director John George abstained from the vote at the Wednesday, Jan. 17 meeting. George explained that he ob- jected to the bond issue to finance the high school renovations be- cause he didn't approve of the Dallas Township Elementary School having been closed. First Eastern Capital Markets, a division of First Eastern Bank of Wilkes-Barre, is the underwriter of the bond. William A. Runner and William E. Bell, vice presidents of public finance for the bank , and Russ Tippett attended the meeting as representatives. The district will use the funds to design, construct and equip addi- tions and renovations at the high school. The board also plans to purchase the two modular build- ings now at Westmoreland Ele- mentary and relocate them where needed. Charlotte Williams, business manager for the district, explained that the net interest cost to the district for the bond issue is 6.96% with the bonds ranging from 5.9 to 7% for 20 years. ok Back Mountain students receive Penn State degrees About 3,195 students received degrees at Penn State's fall com- mencement exercises January 6.
