The Christmas parade was only a few short weeks after the last ballgame. Preparing for both it and the concert was challenging in such a small amount of time. Immediately after Christmas music was back on file, music was distributed for district con- test held at Gadsden State. The three selections which were judged as superior were The Klaxon . Das Pensieonat, and Kensington. Late in the spring individuals attended solo and Ensembles at Jacksonville State University. They competed with themselves in solos, duets, trios, quartets, and other combined groups. Everyone was proud when they brought home forty-five supe- rior medals. Preparing for the spring concert was hectiv,, with so many other school activities conflicting with rehearsals. However, with all the problems involved, the ' band performed a most out- standing and entertaining con- cert. Three of the selections which made the concert a suc- cess were Highlights from South Pacific , Theme from Ice Castles, and The ' Sound of Music.
