Photo taken by Thelda Eastwood. Impressions given of Tintic Band's trip to perform in California event by Alexander Might To write a news article on the Bands trip to Santa Maria, California is like attempting to write a history of a nation in one paragraph because so many things happened in the eventful week and so many people were involved that it would be an impossibility to include everything. I trust the readers of the Reporter will appreciate this fact and the many events that must be omited are a natural consequence, of one week of humming activities. The first major stop of the band was in Las Vegas, Nevada during the early morning hours when activity of the flourishing, entertainment city was at its height Immediately the band members were up and down Fremont Street viewing the signs, looking in the windows and atempting to secure something to eat The ride from Las Vegas to Santa Maria was much longer than was anticipated (nearly 500 miles), but the band did arrive in time to go to the beach and enjoy several hours of frolicking and swimming in the ocean. The, parade took place Satury day morning and at the junior section started with many young children participating. At 10 o'clock a.m. the main parade got underway led by the Grand Marshall, Miss America, and the honor band from the Tintic High School. For over four hours the parade continued before a host of spectators estimated at about Thirty six bands participated and 300 floats were officially listed. In this parade the Tintic Band won first place in the Senior Division for Marching Bands. After the parade a chicken barbeque was served and the chairman of this event, Gail Bauer, formerly from Elberta (his wife is the former Bonnie Reed from Mammoth) told the writer that 3,400 chickens were prepared. During the afternoon a rodeo was staged in one section of the faigrounds while in another section bands participated in marching and playing. Here Tintic won second place in its division and completely stole the show. With Ron Griggs as announcer (and the writer might add, He did a wonderful Job.') the California nine-thirt- 150-00- 0. audience really appreciated the maneuvers of the Tintic Band especially the part when they played Hi Neighbor and California Here We Come.' On Saturday evening the Barbecue Banquet was held and attendance was limited to 1,000 people (absolute capacity of the Elks Lodge hall and dining room converted into one large banquet room with six tables extending the full length of the spacious room, with head tables at one end. Here varlaus awards were made and thanks extended to chairman of sev-eevents. Once again Tintic stole the show .Ron Griggs was presented with a personal plaque and a suitably engraved loving cup for the band. His appropriate response was received by a standing ovation. Later during the progam Alexander Blight was called upon and after his remarks he presented to the chairman of the celebration, Mr. Clarence Min-ett-i, Governor Calvin Ramp-ton- 's proclamation and a letter from Governor Rampton to Governor Ronald Reagan. Mr. Blight was presented with a suitably engraved plaque that was awarded to the citizens of Tintic. On Sunday morning the band was driven down the beautiful al . Farewell given in honor of coast highway and the afternoon was spent visiting Long Beach Harbor and from a distance the group saw the Queen Mary. Sunday evening the Band attended Sacrament meeting of the Tenth Ward LD SChurch agd after the meeting presented a concert in the amusement hall. So many former Tintic people were present it would be impossible to name all so the writer decided to not give any of the names, but it might be stated that after the Concert a real old Tintic was held and acquaintances renewed between friends who had not seen each other for years. On Monday the band members went to Disneyland and an Tuesday saw magnificent as well as have a ride through a crowded freeway in Los Angeles. The tired but happy group These two peaple were responsible for the Utah flag, the Governors proclamation and the letter from Governor Galvin L. Rampton to Governor Ronald Reagan. No word of appreciation would be complete without mention of the chaperones: Mrs. Ronald Griggs, Mrs. Norma Jameson, Mrs. Audrey Sanderson, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ryan, Mr. Fred Holladay, and Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Sight. These adults watched over the young people, treated them all as their own children and did get-togeth- er Mar-inela- So Carefree... everything they could to make the experience safe and worth- while.
