Holly Springs Band In the month of june, 1946, many strange noises were heard in the small town of Holly Springs, Ia. yes, the young folks of Holly were practicing their'clarinets, trumpets and other instruments that was later ' to be organized into a small band, Mr. Walter K. Schofield, of Sioux City was the director of the band, and under his direction the band has pro- gressed very rapidly. When first organized, the band had a membership of fourteen. In September we lost a trombone and saxophone but these two were soon re- placed by four new instruments which gave us a new membership of six- teen. Private lessons and band rehearsal were still in order and the band made their first appearance at Community night in October. More appear- ances were at school activities and basketball games of that year. During the following summer Mr. Schofield came from Sioux City every Thursday, and gave private lessons. Band rehearsal was held in the afternoon with an outdoor concert in the evening. At present the band consists of: 5 Clarinets: Orval Cox, Evelyn Beem, janice Coover, Margery Brouwer, and Betty Weber. 3 Saxophones: Ilene Balknap, Robert Dietrich, and Marilyn Haddock. Z Trombones: Dick Pixler, and Esther Dietrich. l Baritone: Mr. Brouwer. 1 Trumpet: Edward Weber. 3 Cornetsg Ronnie Haddock, Bette Belknap, Robert Hanner, The snare drum is played by Lois Zortman and the base drum by Bette Ericksen. Many of the community members often help in the band on special occassions, by playing various instruments. This help is greatly appre- ciated by eve ryone. The band also took part in the Music Festival at Correctionville last' spring and all of the members enjoyed it immensely. Upon being asked his opinion of the band, Mr. Schofield said, In my opinion these children are the best talented students I have ever had, in many years of teaching. We're all proud of this and all in all we wish the band the best of luck for years to come.
