The Score NOT only does music soothe the savage beast, it also does rather nicely with enthusiastic and talented adolescents. The Great Neck High School Music Deportment devotes itself to the development, understanding, and appreciation of good music, both as producers and consumers. Due to its efforts, students were taught to think of Haydn as something other than the op- posite of seekin'l Under the direction of Mr. Paul Koehler, the BAND and ORCHESTRA have provided excellent opportunities for students to develop their poten- tials and has given them valuable experience in performing before an audience. Aspiring musi- cians acquired a well-rounded musical back- ground through discussion and analysis of music from Beethoven to Brubeck. Their common inter- est in music, and the sharing of varied experi- ences in this field have stimulated and united the group into a harmonious organization, in the full sense of the word. The Music Department provided accompani- ment for the spring and the fall plays and the Christmas pageant, and was quite busy on its own. The Band musically solicited funds for scholarships at the January P. T. A. concert, which featured Richard Rogers’ Victory At Sea, and at the spring musical festival presented an exciting as well as educational journey through jazz history. Band members got some fresh air and exercise at home football games and the Memorial Day parade. Rehearsals took place three times weekly to prepare for these events. Providing music for G. O. Dances had long been a thorn in the sides of the organizers of these affairs. Due to the foresight of Mr. Koehler and the financially-inclined minds of some of the Band members, a fourteen member dance band was formed this year to play at future G. O. func- tions for a nominal fee. Malcolm Parada, Bill Kirby and Bob Ricci acted as student directors and coordinators for a band that proved a credit not only to themselves but the music department as well. 23
