The Music department of the Walnut Community High School consists of three major divisions: Vocal, Instrumental, Solo, and Ensemble. The first of these is made up of a junior-Senior Girls' Chorus, a Freshman-Sophomore Girls' Chorus, a Boys' Chorus, and a Mixed Chorus. The second group consists of a sixty piece concert and marching band. The third part of this program is made up of small groups such as: Girls' Vocal Sextet, Boys' Vocal Octet, Mixed Vocal Octet, Girls' Vocal Trio, Cornet-Trombone Quartet, Mixed Brass Ensemble, Woodwind Trio, Mixed Woodwind Quintet, B Flat Clarinet Quartet, Mixed Clarinet Quartet, and Percussion linsemble. Beside these groups, stress is made of solo work and we have soloists on Bassoon, Cornet, Trombone, Bass, Baritone, Clarinet, Drum, Oboe, Bass Voice, Boys' unchanged voice, Soprano voice, and Tenor voice. The various organizations perform for many public events such as Football games, the annual Musicade, the Blackhawk Vocal and Band Festivals, the Contests, Spring Concerts, Homecoming, Church events, Rotary Club, etc. Our soloists and ensembles perform for Friday Assemblies, Bryant Club, and other local groups. Suitable recognition is given to those who take part in our music program, in that one fourth credit is given each Semester for both Instrumental and Vocal Music. ln addition to credit toward gradua- tion, a special system of tangible awards has been devised. A four inch music letter is given for participation in both Vocal and lnstru- mental music for two years, a six inch letter is given for participaw tion in both for three years, a gold pin is given for participation in either Vocal or Instrumental for four years, and a special gold pin lJKlfM liNSlil-1l5Lli l.liFT TO Rlfilfli' 'Villinm Schmitt, Carolyn johnson lfvelyn Paeoke, llonna Vunneri Gllilh' VUQJXI.

In the 1951 Music Contests, Walnut Community High School entered the following events: Band, Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, Horn Quartet, Clarinet Trio, Drum Ensemble, Mixed Vocal Octet, Woodwind Trio, Cornet Trio, Drum Ensemble, Cornet Solo, Drum Solo, Bass Horn Solo, Tromlmr-e Solo, Baritone Solo, and Mixed Reed Ensemble. All of these with three exceptions went on to the State Contest, where two, the Horn Quartet and Cornet Solo, placed in first division, and the others in second division. Our Music Department stages an Annual Musicade, composed of both Vocal and Instrumental music as well as Dramatics. This year the Musicade was given in two performances because the number of participants involved was so large that our present stage would not accommodate them. Beside the Musicade, our students always look forward to the Blackhawk Band and Vocal Festival given each Spring. In addition to these programs the school has sent numerous pupils to the All-State Band and Vocal Festival in Champaign. We are very proud of our music record which has been largely made possible by the generous support of the School Board which has provided us with an Oboe, Bassoon, Bass and Alto Clarinet, two Baritones, two Bass Horns, Bell lyre, Snare and Bass Drums, metal music stands, new uniforms, and a full library. It is our hope that under our present director, Mr. C. H. O'May, who has been with us since the beginning of our expansion of the music department, we may have one of .the best music departments in any High School of our size in the State of Illinois.
