Band Un Tuesdays, there seems to be an unusual air -or rather several airs, running rampant through Sodus High, But at three-ten, tl1e many airs unite and-well, they just won't stop for anything. Of course, we should have thought of that before. Mr. Vlfaldorf has always come to Sodus on Tuesdays to instruct our band members. t.'Xnd our band now has a Hute.l Early in September, the band elected the following officers: l'rr.vfale11t ..................... STl5I,l.A F. BLEMLY VIICE-Pl'l?Sfti8llf ..... .... I QAYMONIJ DEVVoLF .S'c'c1'c'l'm'y-Trea.v111'er .. ....... lflowako Toon Ciisfodiau .................... ELNORA 3loN'roNDo All arrangements were complete for the animal trip to l'almyra Fair, but the weather interfered and sent rain in torrents which kept the band at home. The band worked hard all year, with the massed band concert at lfVolcott in the spring in view. This event took place on .Xpril 5, a Sunday afternoon. There was a seventy-live piece band, consisting of pupils chosen by Klr. VValclorf from tive bands tSodus, Red Creek, Wolcott, North Rose, and Ontarioj There were over a thousand present at the concert, and the program consisted of solos, quar- tettes, and novelty numbers as well as military music. The band did not participate in the contest at Penn Yan, but some of the mem- bers played solos. At the choosing of the Apple lllossom Queen, a massed band of about 150 pieces was at the head of the parade. The Sodus hand is going to Brockport to play at the coronation. Since May 19 was designated 'Sodus Day at the Red VVing Stadium, the band was out in full force. It played for the raising of the flag, and in the grand- stand. The 400 pupils from Sodus were greatly disappointed, however, when the rain came before any of the game was played. The loss of one of our best members, Vincent tjauclino, caused much sadness, and the band will long miss him. Band members have worked hard all year, and the band is looking forward to a great many activities during the summer and coming year. -QQ W..-
