NEW DIRECTOR COMES TO HOBAN BAND True Hoban Spirit can best be seen through the eyes of the band. Its appearance at every major school event is a Hoban tradition. Playing for all football and most home basketball games, for con- certs, dances, parents meetings, and assemblies, the band is an essential part of the school spirit. Under the leadership of their new band director, Brother Stephen Davis, the band performed precision drills and picturesque formations for every football half- time show. The band participated in a program of exchange concerts with Cleveland St. Edwardis, and in conjunction with the glee club, presented a fine Christmas assembly program. In addition to a fine spring concert, the band and glee club members combined with girls from the Elms and St. Mary's to perform a new musical com- edy, CHECK YOUR WORRIES. An important component of the Music Department, the Bluejackets, provided danceable music for all after-game dances, parents' dances, and several out- side groups. The Bluejackets also served as the pit band for CHECK YOUR WORRIES, and for MR. CRANE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, which was present- ed by the music and dramatic departments of Our Lady of the Elms Academy. The Marching Band was under the field direction of Band Captain and Drum Major Iames Falanga. jim, along with the other officers-Ted Dohner, john Willmott, jim Urbanic, and Leonard Nalencz, helped Brother Stephen become acquainted with and adjust- ed to the habits and traditions at Hoban.
