Outstanding Band, Soloists Offer 3 Concerts RANKED as one of the top high school bands in the state, East Detroit ' s symphonic band added new laurels during the 1964 concerts. In addition to the traditional winter concert and Fine Arts festival, the band held a special solo recital featuring senior instrumentalists, ac¬ companied by the band. Featured soloist in the concerts was Richard Temkow who was selected as the outstanding woodwind player in the state of Michigan at the first state-wide contest at Interlochen Music camp last spring. Bob Rustowicz, a senior, served as student conductor for one of the selections and the 46- member Varsity band also performed. Most of these same musicians played impor¬ tant roles in the Marching band which enter¬ tained at all the home football games as well as marching in various civic parades. The band also journeyed to Ann Arbor last fall to take part in the annual University of Michigan Band day activities. Selected musicians were organized into the Pep band which added spirit and enthusiasm to pep meetings and basketball games. Mr. Alfred Marco, band director, again formed a special pit band to perform for the annual Shamrock Shenanigans variety show. Band members are anxiously looking forward to a special trip to Toronto, Canada this sum¬ mer to take part in an international civic club convention.
