Show Escalante Students Go 'Extra' for Band ESCALANTE - Beating and banging a drum is a most unusual place to find a music teacher, but Madlyn Haws, Escalante High School band teacher can be found doing anything and everything for her band students numbering 35 eager young musicians. They feel so strongly about their group that they willingly turn up before school starts each day for practice just to be able to keep their band. By ordinary standards, it is a small band compared to most high school bands numbering from 50 to 60. The band played at the Brigham Young University homecoming in Provo on Saturday. Band members range from fifth through 12th grade, with the bulk of the members coming from the seventh and eighth grades. Just in time for Saturday's Provo event, they received their new self-designed self-designed red and white uniforms. Drum Majorette, Trisha Coughlin, puts the band through its growing repertoire which includes marches, jazz, concert pieces and special solos. The team has been invited, subject sub-ject to school board approval, to Disneyland courtesy of the Disneyland Hotel. Students must pay their own way out, but Disneylan Hotel will pick up meal and room costs. Haws says the students are really "up". They have a good spirit and to help them, a 20- member booster club has been formed with Mary Carr serving as president.
