Sunset Stories

Sixth grade had just started (1959-1960 +/-) Students interested in joining the band were sent to Art Holman in the band room. We ran across the playground, opened the door and were met with this wonderous cacophony. I ended up with a trombone. As I walked home through the town that afternoon, past Kip's and Village Hardware completely elated, I felt like stopping every person I met to say "look, a trombone!" The town couldn't have been prettier that late summer afternoon.

That next spring our band played for the 8th grade graduation. This enables me to say quite truthfully, "Oh yes, I have played Sunset Center!"
