Re: Reflections of the 1972 Forest High School Band
Hal Polk "fleeted up" 7th and 8th graders to the "high school" band in the mid-'60's. We continued our All-Superior streak during this time and went to Enid, OK twice with these superb young, disciplined musicians. We marched close to 100 members at some point during that time. I believe Starkville HS had one more year All-Superior rating than Forest during the '60's. Oh yes, Hal Polk had no assistant director. One cannot say enough about his dedication, motivation and hard work he had.
