WILLISTON, N.D. – While northwestern North Dakota was in extreme drought a month ago, three blizzard/rain events this spring filled dugouts and creeks around the region, relieving stress for farmers worried about seeding into dry soil and bringing much-needed moisture to the area.

On Saturday, May 7, Floyd participated in Band Day in Williston, a tradition for 96 years, as a member of the Williston Cowboy Drum and Bugle Corps. Bands from all over the state marched down the streets in the city parade, along with many floats. Calvin played snare drums.
“I have been a member of the Williston Cowboy Drum and Bugle Corps since 1974. I used to play bugles, but now I play cymbals,” Floyd said. “A lot of schools came to Band Day, and the kids practiced and they just loved it. We have had bands come from as far away as Billings.”
