Wahoo High School - Thunderbird Yearbook (Wahoo, NE)

Tribal Harmony Wahoo High was always well-known for its interest in the music department, and this year was certainly no exception. Not a day passed without some sort of music echoing through the halls. The boys and girls glee and small groups took part in various assembly programs. Together with the chorus a short program was presented for the Farmer’s Co-op after a “big feed.” As a general rule, the small vocal groups were the only ones to perform outside of school. However, the boys glee, with its “Kemo Kimo” ventured out to District 70 where they were a big hit. The formal winter concert at which each group made a splendid showing was the highlight of this year’s activities. The band began its season early by marching at every home football game. Their best showing was made when they presented a half-time program entitled “Drinks” which included the formations of a kettle, a milk bottle, the little brown jug, and the old oaken bucket. Three new systems were adopted this year. The first was sectional rehearsals; the second, the origin of small instrumental groups; and the third, a new majorette system. Under the latter, the chief majorette wore white trousers and jacket and carried a large majorette’s baton rather than a twirling baton. The marching band’s only out-of-town appearance was in a large parade at Oakland. The extremly cold weather for marching was soon forgotten when the bands were privileged to hear the world-famous U. S. Navy Rand. The concert musicians presented a program in January, the proceeds of which went to purchase a tape recorder for the music department. It was at this concert that Mr. Rohrs revealed his publicized surprise which was altogether different from what the band had expected. They were asked to give a demonstration of the first pratice of a newly-issued piece of music! At another time the band presented a short program for the Farmers Co-op. A five-school band clinic was held in Wahoo under the direction of Mr. James King of Hastings College. The bands rehearsed all day and presented a public concert in the evening. The entire music department rendered a pre-festival concert and participated in the district contest. This page sponsored by: BREUNIG RENDERING WORKS Phone 777
