On my first city desk shift, I received two tips: a champion anvil shooter from Columbia, and the Hickman marching band's impending trip to Hawaii. The band story actually came from Cheri, whose friend is a mother of one of the band members. So after many a phone call to attempt to touch base with the band director, I eventually just showed up and tracked him down in person. This was a pretty short piece and I probably could have dragged it out longer if I wanted to, but sometimes less is more.
