Mason’s Musicians Demonstrate Talent Mark Hanak and Scott Merkle give a two-man rendition of “Sinister Sister.” The Modern Music Masters presented its second annual musical assembly this year. The well organized program, which had spent beneficial rehearsal time with the light crew, was presented during two assemblies to the student body in January. Because the preformers were alloted only one routine each, more students were able to participate in this year’s assembly than in the first year’s pro- gram. Although the faulty sound system hindered the musician’s performances, the audiences were pleased and receptive to the wide variety of musical entertainment ranging from classical guitar to the comic “Dishwater Blues.” Robert Prichard launches into “Proud Mary”.

The attendance for the first band concert of the season was much better than it has been in past years. The band played a varied program which covered Baroque. Classical, Romantic, and Pop music. All selections were performed with the correct technique needed for the music ' s style. The band has improved in public per- formances this year. The balance of the sound has been strengthened and the gener- al attitude toward the atmosphere of a musical performance has improved the band tremendously. 28
