25 Years Ago This Week

The Sullivan Band of Redskins, more than 75 members, recently marched in the Eastern Illinois University Marching Band Invitational and the Mahomet-Seymour Invitational. At EIU the band earned high marks in showmanship, expression, adaptability of the show, variety, creativity and marching analysis. They received awards for first runner-up brass and auxiliary. In the Mahomet contest, the band earned second place trophies in Class AA for band, winds, percussion, flags and drum major.
Matt and Janet Kracht of the Moultrie County Foreign Studies program took six Sullivan students on a 10-day tour of France and Italy. The six students were Marti Ray, Jesse Horton, Terry Doyle, Krystal Horsman, Wendy Gilmore and Stacy Collins. This year’s trip started in Paris and ended in Rome.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
