The ' Buccaneer 1937 C0usic Department THE GLEE CLUBS During the Fall Quarter the Glee Clubs devoted much of their time to the preparation of Handel’s Messiah . As a climax to this work, the clubs were combined with the Eastern Ten¬ nessee Messiah Chorus of 435 voices for a Sunday evening concert in Johnson City and in Bristol. Possibly the high spot of the season for both glee clubs and orchestra was the Spring Concert in which selections were given from Wagner’s Flying Dutchman , Page’s Old Plantation Days , and Cellar’s The Merry Widow. THE BAND As a marching and concert organization witli a membership of forty-seven, the band has added immeasurably to both school and civic activities. The band is planning to attend the Rhododendron Festival at Asheville, North Carolina, again this year where it placed third last summer in competition with eight other organizations. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL The Annual Music Festival in which the Teachers College is host to all surrounding public schools and colleges took place April 20 to 26. Total participants numbered 2060, which is by far the largest registration since its founding. THE INSTITUTE OF MUSIC While the Music Department has held a high position for several years in the training of music supervisors, this coming summer promises to give added impetus to its progress. Osbourne McConathy, distinguished music educator and author, is to be a guest member of the faculty. He will be assisted by 5 Elver J. Fitchhorn, expert band instructor, and Henry Harris, rising- young American pianist. THE GLEE CLUBS
