STRIKE UP THE BAND! Mr. Oda leads Kauai High's superb band with utmost ease. OUR LEADING NOISEMAKERS Loud screeches, accompanied by horrible blasts, developed into lovely music after the band went through a year of extensive training under a new-comer, Mr. Sadao Odo. The first few weeks found the band members going through many practice sessions in prepa- ration for renditions at football games. They played for assemblies, they played at games, and they played for the community. To make the band sound like a band, hours and hours of practice were required and this the boys did. They practiced hard and long because they loved to play and they loved music. Many mem- bers of the band played solos and duets at our assemblies, displaying much of their talents. The success of a band depends much upon the organization and synchronization of the group. With their heads in their instruments and music know-how, they developed into a group of fine and polished musicians. Clad in their brand new band outfits, Kauai High School's loudest noisemakers led our Alma Mater through a successful and glorious year of play and study, Bottom row l, left to right: Mr. Oda, Juvencio Utrera, Marcello Segismundo, Jerry Oshima, Manuel Mathias, Louis Berales, Ophelia Fadran.

jkey, ang, .Sz Sweeffg lnterminable practice enabled the chorus to produce sweet music. Young voices were trained to harmonize. A variety of selections provided for enioyment as well as appreciation. Chorus members participated in the school Christmas program and contributed often to the success of school assemblies. Seventy-five strong voices sounded in harmony as they sang many numbers. Working hard all the time, Mr, Sadoo Odo's patience and guidance brought out many of the hidden singing abilities of the students attend- ing our Alma Mater who were interested in us- ing their voices ta bring out the beauty of the songs of old. Practice sessions may have been tedious and could have sounded horrible and erratic, but their final renditions at the various assemblies and programs displayed their talents and capabilities to produce good music, The beautiful music produced by our singing lads and lassies brought appreciation for the finer things of life.
