At Amherst County High School, every student can be justly proud of the band. This organization attended almost every football game this year and cheered the Lancers on with its lively music. In addi- tion to these games, the band also par- ticipated in two parades: the Lynchburg Christmas Parade and the Waynesboro Christmas Parade. Of course, the most preparation and work goes into the an- nual Christmas Concert, Spring Concert, and State Band Festival. Another long- awaited event is the Apple Blossom Festival held each spring in Winchester. For this parade, the members of the band practice their marching skill so that they will look their best for the judges. Being a member of the Band involves much hard work. For this reason, in the Beginners and Intermediate Bands, the student is prepared for the day when he will be promoted to the Advanced Band. Beginners Band First row: Judy Taylor, Debbie Clements, Jane Woody. Second row: David Tyree, Betty Thacker, Stephen Austin, Charles H. Lamphere. 79

Glee Club Creators Over the years, Amherst County High School has continued to have an outstanding Glee Club. This group may always be counted on to furnish a fine program of music, whether the music be sacred, popular, or classical. Throughout the year, the Glee Club sang for the Thanksgiving Assembly, the Christmas Assembly, Orientation Day, Graduation exercises, and on various other occasions. They attended the State Choral Festi- val, and representatives were sent to the Virginia All-State Chorus. The Glee Club presented two fine concerts this year at Christmas and in the spring they also presented one of the outstanding presenta- tions of the year in the early fall. Over one thousand people saw the two showings of “The Buie and Grey,” and operetta presented by the Glee Club. This was one of the first presenta- tions of this operetta in the United States as it was written only recently. “The Blue and Gray” is in commemoration of the centennial observ- ance of the War Between the States. To have a Glee Club such as the one at A.C.H.S. demands “harmony’ among the singers in their effort to present outstanding programs to the students at A.C.H.S. Hard work— this is a must that is fulfilled whole-heartedly by each member of the Glee Club as they work with their fine director, Mr. Charles Lamphere.
