“It’s up a few from last year,” band director Andrew Johnson said. He noted that the increase can partially be attributed to “this being the first year we’re not going to go to competitions, and the change in the program and the change in just the overall environment and philosophy how we are approaching band. The schedule is a lot more manageable for students and families this year.” During band camp from
Aug. 4 to 8, there were built-in breaks and an hour for lunch. “The idea this year was to shrink the amount of days of band camp, extend the hours a bit, but just take some of the time commitment away from students and free up their lives a little bit,” Johnson said. The band members are getting accustomed to a technology called Ultimate Drill Book, which students and staff members can use to track movements of the musicians. The See Band pg 4

The second annual Millersville Lions Club Car, Truck, & Bike Show promises to be entertaining for aficionados and people who simply enjoy seeing classic vehicles. The event will be held rain or shine on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Philip the Apostle Roman Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster. Lion Jim Kalenich said the decision to include motorcycles was a big hit at the inaugural event. Owners who register their vehicles on or before Saturday, Aug. 30, will pay a discounted fee to enter. Call Eric Dumm at 717-682-1138 for more information. Registration will also take place from 9 to 10 a.m. on the day of the event. There is no admission charge for spectators. Proceeds will benefit Blue Rock Fire Rescue. “That’s what we’re doing this for,” said Kalenich. The Millersville Lions Club has been a longtime supporter of the fire company. Two years ago, the Lions gave each Blue Rock member a $75 gift card. Kalenich said, “We usually give money, and we thought we would get the community more involved and see if they help us raise money, rather than us going out and trying to raise it a different way. We thought people can enjoy (the car show) a little bit better.” Blue Rock Fire Rescue will have representatives and apparatus at the event. The fire company recently began a capital campaign to raise money for a new $10 million firehouse. El Sandwichon, Cool Summer
