The high school marching band competition season begins Saturday, Oct. 11, when Scholastic Class bands perform at Homestead and two other Indiana high schools. Many Fort Wayne area bands compete in the four classes of the Open Class, and begin competition at the regionals on Saturday, Oct. 18. Festival Class bands performed for judges Oct. 4, concluding their season. No Fort Wayne area bands are enrolled in Festival Class. Homestead High School is working for a 28th consecutive trip to the state finals and another Open Class A state title. This year’s show is titled “Dance of the Wind Spirits.” Concordia Lutheran High School took the Open Class C title last year, following finishing as first runner-up in 2012. The 2014 show is titled
Diane Scranton knows how to prepare for a cold Halloween night, and hundreds of zombies, ghosts and monsters. “One of my employees gets the hot dog costume on, with her hot dog hat, and she stands out there and passes out treats,” Scranton said. Scranton has kept the grill at Jeff’s Coney busy through nine Georgetown Halloweens. Scranton will join her business neighbors once again Friday evening, Oct. 31, to welcome an estimated 1,800 children to Georgetown Square. “The New Haven Alumni Band plays right in the breezeway between us and Ziffle’s [Rib Bar], so we get a lot of people in here,” Scranton said. “And we sell a lot. I just put more dogs on the grill. I just know I have to be prepared for it.” “It’s the longest running trick-or-treat event like this in the country, going

The Marching Cadets rehearse in the parking lot at Concordia Lutheran High School. The Open Class C 2013 state champion band will compete at 1:36 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, in the regionals at Lafayette Jefferson High School.
“Walk by Faith and Not by Sight.” Concordia band director Dianne Moellering said 70 band and guard members compose this year’s band. “The kids are coming in looking forward to it,” she said. This year’s band has fewer woodwind musicians, but more guard
members. “It’s just kind of cyclical,” she said. “It all comes out in the wash.” Concordia’s show, arranged by Kent Klee, encompasses three numbers: “Earth and All Stars,” “Be Thou My Vision” and “Ascending.” Mike Beights is Concordia’s drill designer.
Brittany Satterthwaite directs the guard. Todd Phillips assists with music and technical work. Michaela Holloway, a senior, and Anna Werling, a junior, are the Cadets’ drum majors. See BAND, Page A6
on for more than 40 years now,” said Maureen Partee, the Georgetown marketing specialist. She said her father, the late Tom Jehl, started Georgetown Halloween in 1972. “It started out to be a safe trick-or-treat event, around the time when people were scared for the kids’ safety. You could trust your merchants. And it was well lit,” she said. And so it continues in 2014. “Lots of people will bring chairs and watch the trick-or-treaters,” Partee said. A costume contest is open to all ages. “We have prizes for different age groups and categories — homemade costume or scariest or cutest,” Partee said. “It’s infant to adult. We have a lot of adults dress up, too. “People who have done it year after year said they have never trick-or-treated anywhere else. Someone who was 40 years old said ‘I won the contest when I was 8 years old.’ ” See ENJOY, Page A2
Corned beef sandwich sale is temple’s top fundraiser Congregation Achduth Vesholom’s 13th annual Corned Beef on Rye — Sure to Satisfy fundraiser also offers the public a chance to visit the campus at 5200 Old Mill Road. Dine-in hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Rifkin Campus at 5200. Pickup and delivery are available. “Just sit down and chit chat and have a nice lunch,” said Bonnie Pomerantz. The project is the temple’s largest annual fundraiser. “It takes about a hundred people to pull this off — all volunteers,” Pomerantz said. Proceeds go into the general operating budget for everyday expenses, including many programs open to the general public. “It gives us an oppor-
tunity to share what we could call a taste of Judaism, to share it with the community,” said fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray. “It also invites the community to come to our facilities.” Gray said the Rifkin Campus at 5200 is designed to consolidate different Jewish entities, including expansion to accommodate the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation. That organization’s move to the campus became official on June 1. He said the fundraiser is consistent with an ongoing effort to identify with the 46807 neighborhood where the temple is located and with the broader Fort Wayne community. “Hey, come on down and share some corned beef, in a cafe style,” he said. Find fax-able order forms through the Corned
Beef Fundraiser link at templecav.org. The boxed meals include an overstuffed one-thirdpound corned beef deli sandwich, coleslaw, dill pickle and brownie and drink. Meals are $14 if ordered by Thursday, Oct. 23. Meals are $15 after that date and at the door. Orders of 12 or more sandwiches can be delivered for a charge of $6 per address. Delivery orders must be placed by Oct. 23. Also this year, the public may order corned beef at $12 a pound, or extra rye bread, pickles or brownies. The temple traces its roots to 1848 as Indiana’s first Jewish congregation. Learn more about the congregation’s history and programs, its fundraising campaign, and the Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne by visiting templecav.org.
