GV! HE Norwood High School Band has just completed a year of which we can be proud. Under the competent direction of Mr. Walter R. Sayrs, our band, the largest musical organization in the school, had the honor of fulfilling many worthwhile engagements. Richard Poling and Orville Sherrow were chosen as the two drum-majors, but since Orville played on the football team, Dick did most of the strutting. The band marched and played at all football games under the Norwood High School lights. The musicians looked very attractive in their red, white, and blue, but soon they may make an appearance in new uniforms. The proceeds of the Seventh Annual Band Minstrel Revue will help this plan along. The band also made a trip to the Dayton Steele football game and received much favorable com- ment in the Dayton newspapers. The two sections of the band played alternately at the basketball games, and both gave concerts at junior and senior assemblies Mr. Neth, director of a circuit of high school bands in southwestern Ohio, visited and directed a practice. The greatest honor of the year came when this organization was invited to give a concert for the Southwestern Ohio Teachers' Association at Music Hall, ln this concert the band presented the following program: Paean of Triumph by Walter Esberger. Victor Herbert's Favorites by M, L. Lake. Calvalcade by G. E. Homes, La Paloma arranged by Mr. C. Schaeffer. Mr. Schaeffer honored us by paying us a visit and directing La Paloma, a unique arrangement featuring castanets and tambouriries, during a rehearsal for the Music Hall program. Mr. Schaeffer then presented the band with a medley of Christmas carols entitled 'iYuletidings, 91.
