Ohio Musical activity in the fifth and sixth grades has been limited to materials which aid the student to understand the construction ot music. This leads to greater appreciation. The limit- ml time has. of course, limited extensive development. During' the winter months the band has devoted most of its practice to light concert work. This tvpe of music develops finer techniques, reading ability, better tonal qualities. and cn- L'Hlll'2lf. l'S practice at home. Six members of the band were chosen for membership in the all-county band. This or- ifamzation offers competition and an opportunity for the better musicians to play in a superior environment. ln the spring months the band drilled in marching. This offers variety and teaches tech- niques in an altogether different field of music. The girls' elee club has spent a greater part of their practice time on three-part arrange- ments of light classical numbers. Twelve members ot our gfroup participated in the all-county music festival. The clarinet ensemble has done fine work on several occasions. It was well received at the music festival.
