The members of the Elizabethtown Area High School marching band learned and rehearsed for their new ’80s themed show during band camp from Aug. 5 to 8. Drum majors Max McCloud (right photo, left) and Claire Fritz (right photo, right), decked out in ’80s outfits for one of the week’s spirit days, are hoping audiences will love the upbeat music in the show.

In other parts of the state, many 4-H clubs have folded or are dealing with dwindling attendance and involvement, but the Mount Joy 4-H
Community Club is bucking the trend. With the club having 130 members on the roster last fall, Community Club organizational leader Katina Musser said, “We were actually told that this is the largest club in the state.” See 4-H Club pg 7
