Enter visual coordinator hn Taggart and his creative mind. Taggart sat Schweizer on a ue blanket on the sidelines nd put a “Let it Snow” mug in her hands, technically put- "ting her on the field with the rest of the band. While the Marching Black Knights performed their rou- tine, titled “Winter,” Schweiz- er, smiling broadly, acted as if the whole routine was happen- ing in her head. She became These coveted medals and plaques were brought home by the Marching Black Knights last weekend when they won the Tournament of Bands At- lantic Coast Championship in Dover, Del. just as important a participant of the routine as were the band members on the field. The result? A score of 97.6 points out of a possible 100 and the 10th Atlantic Coast Championship for the Lake- Lehman Marching Band. The band last won the champion- ship title in 1996. Under the direction of band leader Greg Riley since 2004, the Back Mountain band also won five out of seven special awards, including percussion, drum major, woodwinds, mu- sic and visual. JONATHAN J. JUKA/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Their hard work behind them, members of the Atlantic Coast Championship Lake-Lehman Marching Band can relax and enjoy each other's company at a party held last Sunday in their honor at the Lehman Fire Hall. Marching bands from 91 high schools began the com- petition season in September with 63 bands becoming semi- finalists and 28 finalists com- peting for the Atlantic Coast Championship title.

But the dinner is not intended just for those without anything to eat. Instead, it is for all people of every background and faith to come together and share food and friendship. Folk says last year, a family from the church who was not poor attended the dinner because one of their fam- ily members was in the hospital and they did not have time to cook. A few people have routinely shown up to the dinner for the last two years, including Huntz. “She’s counting on us to have Thanksgiving dinner for her,” Folk said of Huntz. “One of the reasons I feel like they (members of the community) depend on it is because she and one of her friends asked me very early if we were going to do the Thanksgiv- ing dinner.” Huntz, who turned 74 on Tues- day, went to the Thanksgiving dinners at the church the last two years with a neighbor because Henry was ill. She would then take dinner home to him. Huntz will attend the dinner with her neighbor again this year and en- courages others to join her. Dinner guests will be treated to turkey, sweet potatoes, home- made stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, dinner rolls and as- sorted pies. There is no cost to at- tend, but donations for church mission trips will be accepted. The food is purchased by the con- tributions of parishioners. Volunteers from the church cook and serve the food every year. They then sit down at the dinner and everyone eats togeth- er. Beginning in 2006, one large table was set up so all can be to- gether. Folk says although grace is said, religion is not the focus of the dinner. Though Huntz is a church member, she wishes everyone who is alone would spend the day with her and has even offered a ride to those without one. “If anyone would like to go with me, I'm willing to pick them up and share a meal and make friends,” she said. “Don’t stay at home and be alone.” Rebecca Bria, a staff writer for The Dallas Post, can be reached at 970- 7436. “CIVIC BRIEFS "Turkey Raffle is today 'Daddow-Isaacs Dallas Amer- ican Legion Post 672 will hold its annual Turkey Raffle at 1 p.m. today, Nov. 18. ~The monies earned from the ““Turkey Raffle will be used to @: the Children’s Christmas i arty.
