In the past year, the Bottineau High School Band, under the direction of Mr. C. M. Christianson, has made great progress over bands of past years. Last fall, Mr. Christianson took over the duties of band director but without very inviting prospects. In the course of the year, he has obtained many new instruments and enlarged the organization to the present 48 pieces. New uniforms were purchased early in May for the entire band. On the fifteenth of May the band attended the Spring Festival at Minot along with other such organizations and made a very impressive showing. Two soloists - baritone and cornet-advanced to the National Regional Contest at Aberdeen, South Dakota. Virgil Vikan received first place in the baritone solo division and Larry Christianson placed second in the cornet solo. With the band losing only seven members through graduation, prospects for future years are very favorable. MR. C. M. CHRISTIANSON Director Page I 8
