By Monty Siekerman
A brass ensemble entertained residents of Vancrest with Christmas music on Wednesday afternoon.

The group, formerly known as the COP-er Tones, because it mostly consisted of Ada PD members, is now without a name because most members are from the community.

But the No Name ensemble played their hearts out and the Vancrest folks surely enjoyed the music.

Instrumentalists included Det. George Schlub, Jim Finch, Dennis Holmes, Christine North, Randy Rogers, and Damar Schlub. The mini concert was organized by Ptl. Penny Keller-Clark who arranges a monthly Cookies with a Cop program.

Students in the class programed VEX robots to autonomously pick up one ping pong ball and drop it into the can, then using the remote control to pick up another ping pong ball and drop it in the can.

These actions simulate the VEX competition events where 15 seconds of the competition is autonomous and 45 seconds is completed by remote control.
