KH5 k'N 0TOh0Btr8 The forty-two piece orchestra, under the baton of direct- or E. Paul Enix, is just climaxing a successful season. For the first time in the history of the orchestra a standard symphony has been attemtped, 'The Schubert Unfinished Symphony', and it has proved so successful that Mr. Enix intends to pre- sent a similar work each year in order that performers and listeners alike will raise their standards of appreciation of finer music. The orchestra presented it's annual concert on March 12 in the first appearance of a musical group in the new high school auditorium. Included on the prog1am were the selectiions 'Unfinished Symphony' - Schubert, 'Valse Triste,' - Sibelieus, two numbers by the high school instrumental trio, 'Andante' from the Hayden 'Surprise Sym hony' and 'Mozart Suite' Cal Al- legro lb! Andante Tranquillo fel Allegro. On March 23, the orchestra presented 1t's concert in the Ada High School Auditorium for two audiences. The concert was very well received, especially 'Valse Triste' and 'The Sur- prise Symphony'. The following week, April B the orchestra competed in the orchestra division of the Tri-State Festival in Enid, and received a superior ranking in class C. Gnly one other orchestra of the 16 competing groups in the 3 classes received a superior ranking, that being Stillwater in class A. On April 15 the orchestra competed in the district con- test at Ada, where it also received a superior and first place ranking. April 29, will find the orchestra competing in the State Inter-Scholastic contest. String Department Instructor Mrs. Nathan Farb Since the basis for the orchestra is the string section, much of the orchestra's success is due to Mrs. Farb, insturctor for that department. The department includes some thrity-two violins, eight 'cel1os, four violas, and three string basses. The players rank all the way from third graders to Seniors. 'fri , si,-2 I
