It was not iust at games, however, that the Arabancl appeared in its glittering gold and green Arabian dress. At the All-Western Band Review at Long Beach on November 29 it placed third in its division, attaining its highest honor in this well-known musical event. CV's musicians marched in the lnclio Christmas Parade, played for the annual Rodeo Parade at Palm Springs in February, and made their usual much-appreciated appearance in the February 23 Date Festival Parade. Then to top off its shows, the band marched in a rodeo parade in Indio in March. When the busy musical group was not marching, it appeared as a con- cert band along with the orchestra and glee clubs in the annual Christmas program and gave an outstanding performance at the Spring Concert, two traditional events the department produces for the community. The band also gave a concert on the pageant stage at the Date Festival. Last in its well-filled book was an engagement on April 24 to join Mr. Gillogly's orchestra and glee clubs in a benefit show to raise funds for the Music Department. Donald Schofield, new band instructor, helped the Arabians enioy one of their most successful seasons.
