    Many of our age group consider ourselves lucky to have attended school in Hicksville. We had amazing teachers that we fondly remember and still hold dear. One important aspect of the Hicksville school district was the myriad of extracurricular activities available to a broad range of students. Whether you were in the ski club, participated in varsity or junior varsity sports, worked on the newspaper, yearbook staff, or supported the theatre shows, you had a great time with a great group of people. One favorite extracurricular activity for many was participating in the marching band. Even though I was a violin player in the orchestra, I was able to be in this august organization. Although violins were not part of the group, I was asked to play glockenspiel, which for those unfamiliar, is pretty much a portable, upright xylophone. We had a great time in marching band, between working out our routines, attendingMarching Band 1980Marching Band 1980 football games, and marching in parades. We were kept busy.
