Heap Big Noise During the past year, the maidens and warriors of Wahoo High School have again excelled in various music groups including band, chorus, glee, and small vocal and instrumental groups. The band was the most active of the music groups with its members up bright and early at 8:00 A.M. every morning to practice for their various public appearances. Strains of music floating from the band room varied all the way from the “Overture Militaire” to “Dry Bones’- and the “Bunny Hop.” In the fall, the band marched in homecoming parades for both Luther and Midland College. They also participated in the U. N. Band Day in Lincoln. During the half at all the home games and also at Ashland, the band put on a show. The best of these was a “Red-Letter Day” show that included among other things the formation of a firecracker that “exploded” into a “4” for the 4th of July. A special “rainy-day” band uniform was adopted consisting of gold sweaters, blue jeans and beanies. The high-light of the band’s activities was a winter concert at which time Mr. Rohrs was presented with a band director’s uniform from all the band members. The pep band was organized under the leadership of Don Rezek. They played several numbers, including polkas, at rallies and games to pep up the team spirit. A new hour sectional system was used for the first time. Each section missed one class period on Monday, and rotation followed. This hour sectional plan proved to be very beneficial. The band and Girls Glee both made appearances for the Farmers Co-op and presented short programs. I he Boys Glee. Girls Triple Trio and brass sextet made their TV debut on KOLN-TV. I'he Boys Glee was asked to come back for a special program in the spring. This year’s mixed chorus had an unusually large enrollment. The eighty-live members participated in the choral clinic held at Blair. Wahoo was again host to the five other schools for the band clinic. This year, as the clinic had increased to 350 members, they were divided into an “A' and a “B” band. The bands rehearsed at the same time, one in each gym, and put on a joint concert in the evening. The large music groups presented a formal mid-winter concert and the entire music department gave a pre-contest concert. All groups and soloists participated in the District Music Contest at Fremont where they obtained eleven Superior ratings. This climaxed the musical events in Wahoo High.
