The band's finger snapping, foot tapping rhythms excite, rather than soothe, even the most serious student. Being a musician is not just a fun thing. Each morning from 8:00 until 10:00, drummers and flutists illustrate the adage, practice makes perfect. Besides executing much musical skill, other goals of the bandls sixty-two members were raising money for new uniforms, equaling Chattanooga Riverside's halftime show, and being invited to the Dogwood Arts Festival band contest. Gaining practice for this contest, the band performed at assemblies and parades. The sounds pouring from Room 134, although occasionally dissonant, are proof that even the obstacles of combining two bands, lacking a director until the last minute, and having a uniform shortage can be overcome by determination and cooperation.

Vocalists Rehearse On Stage, In Shower A human voice can produce strange effects. It can soothe and move the soul or make one laugh or cry. The combined voices of students in the Choir and Glee Club create these effects by producing the finest sound in town. The perfect proportion of all tones comes only after hours and hours of practice . . . in the choir room, in the auditorium, and maybe even individually in onels sacred sound-proof shower at home. This brilliant blend of voices is one reason the choir was chosen to sing at the downtown lighting of the Christmas tree. Even for Austin-East students and faculty, great pleasure is derived from hearing the two clubs belt out their melodies in school assemblies. Just as every famous restaurant has a particular specialty, quality music is a distinctive feature of Austin-East. l 1 l l l ,
