7. Newspaper: St. Petersburg Times, 10 Mar 1985, Saint Petersburg, Pinellas, FL. ¹¹ Bands will have to warm up before they strike up for Festival.
After a half hour outdoors, the clarinet players' fingers went numb. The trombone slides stuck. The valves on the trumpets froze. The pads on the piccolo holes dropped out and a couple of drumheads shattered like glass.

With 35 days of subfreezing temperatures and a football field snowed-in since October, the Port Huron Northern High School band in Michigan has been frozen out of practice, band director Michael Schwalm said last week. The Port Huron band is one of 10 bands that will compete in the St. Petersburg Festival of States the last week of March. The annual spring celebration features parades, Concerts, fireworks and other events and draws high school bands from around the country. BUT AT least three of the bands have had trouble getting ready for the festival while the season back home is still definitely winter.

The chill has caused instruments to break and has forced bands indoors into smaller practice spaces. It also" has alerted festival officials to possible health hazards, such as heat exhaustion and severe sunburn, caused by moving from severe cold into hot weather. "I mean to tell you we're having a rough time," Schwalm said of the 188-member Northern High band. "I think the kids are starting to get nervous and concerned." The Douglas County High School band in Castle Rock, Colo, has been able to practice outside only four times since January. "The biggest problem is being able to polish the show like you'd like," said band director Mark Wurst.

"It's a lot worse than last year." Plowed streets have been turned into parade practice routes at some schools. But at Saugus High School outside Boston, the streets are too narrow and the weather is still too cold. "Street marching? There's no way," said band director Jerome Mitchell. GETTING OUTSIDE is only one problem. Staying out there is another.

For the brass instrument musicians, the half-hour practice on a muddy football field in Port Huron a few weeks ago wasn't so bad, said Schwalm. They could play with one hand while warming the other. But the piccolo players, who use 10 fingers at once, suffered immediately. "They have to cut finger holes in the gloves," Schwalm said . "After half an hour all the woodwind players can't move their fingers anymore." Last week his band was bused 100 miles to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where the weather was better, to practice on a football field for the first time since October.

The local booster club came up with $750 for the trip. The local Port Huron newspaper has run free full-page ads to solicit donations for the band and is giving a percentage of new subscription money to make up for student fund-raising events canceled due to the weather. Weather-related preparations are being made on both ends of the festival. Organizers in St. Petersburg said first-aid teams will accompany the bands at the various performances.

They also have sent the bands a medical pamphlet with advice for playing in hot weather and intense sunshine. Al Castronovo, festival director, said that in 1979, 28 members of a northern band were hospitalized for severe sunburn. Meanwhile, Schwalm said band members exercise indoors starting at 7 each morning to keep in shape. "I don't want the kids keeling over," he said.
