From Staff Reports
A 16-year-old was removed by

knife with spikes was found in
his book bag in the ROTC class
room.
Perry Police Chief George Pot
ter said that the juvenile report
edly told classmates that he had
brought the weapon to school
becaitse he had been threatened
by some other students.
His classmates told Assistant
Principal Wayne Murphy about
the knife, which was found in
search of the juvenile's book bag.

The police were then called.
The weapon, which is marked
as “made in Pakistan", is “very
dangerous" according to the
chief.
“It's the kind of weapon found
among motorcycle gang mem
bers," Potter said, “If you were
hit in the side of the throat with
it, you'd be dead.
He added that the illegal
weapon possibly came from a
gun and knife show. He said that
one concern law enforcement
officers have about such shows
is that there is no way to trace
who bought the weapon and
gave it to the juvenile.
Disney ‘hires’ Perry
band for movie
By Torey Jolley
Home Journal Staff
tnr Perry' High School
Marching Band has become
a Mickey Mouse outfit lit
erally.
According to Perry High
Band Director Joe Hutche
son, “A producer for Disney
called me on Oct 25 and
asked if we would be inter
ested in being in a movie
they were shooting, and last
Sunday was our first day of
shooting.”
The movie is titled.
“Remember the Titans." It
is a true story of the first
integrated high school to
win a football champi
onship. The time is 1971.
Hutcheson said. “We are
the TC Williams Titan Band
It will be a I’G rated movie
about whites and blacks
working together and suc
ceeding. It stars Denzel
Washington as the school’s
football coach and there arc
several other stars too."
The band will be featured
in three scenes. Their
biggest scene will be the
half-time show of the big
football game.
At first. Disney wanted to
use all 150 brfnd members
in the three scenes. Howev
er, Disney said due to
changes, they could only
use 50 members in two of
the scenes and the entire
150- member band in the
half-time show scene.
This caused Hutcheson

immense pain. He
his first thought was to
cancel the entire thing, but
he said, “This really is excit
ing. It is an opportunity for
these kids.”
Hutcheson's dilemma was
how to pick only 53 stu
dents. “The students voted
how the process was going
to go. They voted to send the
15 or so sectional leaders
and then the remaining
names went into a hat.”
"It is important that these
students know that without
the effort of all 150 band
members, working hard to
be the best band that they
can be, that no one would
bC doing this movie. Disney
wouldn’t have called us
because of just 50 band
members, said Hutcheson.
"It took everyone to get this
opportunity."
And an opportunity it is.
Ac cording to Hutcheson, the
Perry High Band members
will not be getting a pay
check for their efforts, but
instead, the band will get a
large donation from Disney.
“We will receive $6,000
from Disney. Not bad for
working three scenes," said
Hutcheson, adding, “Disney
said we would be in the
credits at the end of the
movie. I am hoping I can get
all 150 names and the
school name into the credit
lines, not just Perry High
