SLATINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BAND w ihr Whistle, ten-hut , dress-right-dress , ready front , mark-time-mark , are familiar commands heard by a well-disciplined, experienced bandfront. Director Harry Christine demanded a tougher attitude from the all-female squad. Summer and atterschool practices increased self-confidence and squad-flexability. One mem- ber of the squad noted that, We improved since last year, our formations are more complex, our lines are straighten our twirls are synchronized and we really got it together! When you're out there on the field you must be con- stantly ware of your position and your movements. The half-time performances were really greatly appreciated by the audiences. • II i awn Actions Activities 19

«Ataitt hi '.: The job of creating a jazz band in our school was tackled by Mr. Robert Stoneback, who was once a member of the Tommy Dorsey band. Although many thought it would be an impossible task, the ensemble proved to be a real hit, performing at the concert band, the community college, and in assembly. Music included numbers arranged by Mr. Stoneback himself, but everyone's favorite was the popular Woodchopper's Ball. May 10th was a night of nights for the chorus. Performing their an- nual spring concert this year, entitled SRO: A Broadway Revue, they ma- naged to attract the largest crowd ever to attend a chorus concert. Di- rected by talented Larry Williams, who took over for Mr. Fennell on a volunteer basis halfway through the year, the performance also included the first concert with a set design, the first with an encore, and the first to receive a standing ovation.
