For the third time in Whitehall’s history, portable lights beamed down on the athletic field, setting the stage for “Music in Motion,” the cavalcade sponsored by the Marching Zephyr Band. Newcomers, Allen High School marchers, grabbed first place honors in the competition October 14. Each band performed approximately 10 minutes for a crowd of over 5,000 with the judging taking place in music, marching, and general effect. Second and third places went to North Penn and Northampton, respectively. As host for the evening Whitehall was not included in the place scoring, but gave a demonstrative performance for the participants. Trophies were presented by William Bodisch, school board president. “We had a good crowd, a good show, and excellent weather for our third ‘Music in Motion’,” said Wayne Nottle, band director. Other years Whitehall participated in cavalcades almost every weekend during the season. But this year the band was only involved in three compet itions, a very low count comparison. This was a result of few sponsoring schools. Of the three attended, the Dieruff festival September 28 was the only cavalcade in which they were rated. They received an “excellent” in marching and a “good” in music. The other two competitions were the Globe Times Festival of Bands at Liberty High School stadium October 3 and one at Pocono Mountain High School September 23.
