Mr. Reed Barnes, the South Middle School band teacher, took a three-week leave Monday, Oct. 29. His sub is Mr. Bob Estes, who taught here at South for eight years. Now that he is subbing, the 7th and 8th grade band have a new marching routine.
The band had to relearn the Top Gun Theme. Mr. Estes rewrote the music as a shorter version. The new version will be performed for the first time at the Veterans Day Parade, 10th and Main, Joplin, 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. Mr. Estes told the band, "You guys are looking really sharp!"
