Jack Colwell BAND HISTORY - T955 We started this school year with a band membership ot thirty. The second semester raised it to forty. There are two bass horn players, three on baritones, two trombones, two horns, ten trumpets and cornets, four drummers itwo snares, one bass, one cymbalsl, one bell lyra, three flutes, seven clarinets and six saxophones. While we had several experienced players, because ot the preponderance of the "new crop" members it was necessary to play easy music, the Bennett Band Book KNO il, particularly, The second semester we' concentrated upon music "over our heads", in order to take part with older and more experienced groups at the great massed band festival at Pacific Union College, April 3. Some of these numbers included symphonic arrangements ot Bach. So, this year's music library might well be captioned, "From Bennett to Bach." Students, faculty, and community have cooperated with unusual enthusiasm in order to help develop a pro- gressive organization. The merit system has been a boost to industry on the part of individuals. The band has taken part in several musical programs. At the festival our own feature number of K. L. King's "The Iron Count Overture", a melodious number of medium difficulty. It is our sincere wish that our Modesto Union Academy Band continue to add its measure to a harmonious school spirit. Herbert Work, bandleader.
