UNDER THE DIRECTION of Mr. William Freed in the Clinton Central gym, Kathy Rodkey and Diana Bagan play their clarinets. CHORAL AND BAND DIRECTORS from Central, Prairie, and Rossville watch as their students perform in the '73 Musical Festival. one, two, three, everybody play! All right, get that sax case off my seat! And stop playing that drum. Play it in someone else's ear! Listen, I'm in chorus, and I don't have to put up with this! So started the band and chorus bus trip to Clinton Central for the morning prac- tices before the County Music Festival. When the band and chorus arrived at C.C., the other groups from Clinton Prairie and Clinton Central had assembled. The band members took their seats, and the practice began. The combined band, nearly 250 students, was directed by Wil- liam Freed, director of music for Blackford High School. By the seventh measure of the first number, the band stopped seven times and started over three, or so it seemed as festival practices are tedious events. The chorus fared about the same. This group was directed by Phillip Dunn. After all the breathing exercises and humming, the chorus finally got down to work and sang. The festival started at 8:00 p.m. after the band warmed up in the practice room. Even though the day was filled with trying moments, the evening was a hit as it is ev- ery year.
