Miliauskas (continued from page 1) Under Miliauskas' direction, Lake-Lehman was the only band to compete in both divisions, field show and instrumental, and win in both divisions. The band has not lost in competition in Wyoming Valley for more years than people can remember. The bands directed by Mil- iauskas also won in Maryland, Canada twice, Myrtle Beach, Vir- ginia Beach, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia and West Virginia, to name a few. The band also won the first time it went to Sherburne, N.Y., and has won nearly every year since then. “This year when we went to Sherburne, we were sitting in the stands next to fans from Westmore- land, N.Y.,” said Evans. “There was a man sitting right next to us who appeared to be with that group. Some of their fans were making. sarcastic remarks about our band when it came on the field. “The man turned out to be a judge. He stood up and said to the Westmoreland fans,” ‘If | were you I'd sit and watch one of the best five bands in the United States. Their marching, their music, everything is perfect.’ “ Evans said the new band direc- tor Richards told the sponsors that he owed this year’s success toJohn, who gave him lots of advice. The committee has sent out more than 400 announcements to the band alumni as far back as the early 1960's and to the 1989's. At the Open House, the former band presidents and drum majors will host each table of visitors. Mem- bers of the Luzerne County Com- munity College Band directed by Miliauskas have also been invited. “All residents of the Back Moun- tain and friends of John's are also invited to attend,” Evans said.
