A GOOD percussion section strengths the WW band HE musical talent found in chamber orchestra is comparable to that of the concert band, both groups consist ot the best oi Wilson's instrumental talent and represent the school in competitions and in school music programs. Musicians from each class play with the orchestra, this year even the Class oi '64 was represented in the chamber orchestra, tor a few talented Hunt and Mason ninth graders played with the group in its public appearances. This year Wilson had the honor ot sending a representative to the 1961 All-Northwest Orchestra, consisting of 208 players from all of the Northwestern states. Susan Rolletson, who plays the cello, repre- sented Wilson in this event. Later in the year several orchestra mem- bers attended the March 25th Orchestra Contest, in this competition both solo and group performers received quite high ratings.

ractice and Present Musical lnterludes EGINNING band is for Mr. Robert Dezell, band instructor and director, a reservoir of potential, for out of the beginning band come the future members of Wilson's concert band. Beginning band'is a subject open to students wishing to play musical instruments and advance their knowledge of music. The members this year learned essential fundamentals and techniques of music and throughout the year performed at concerts to demonstrate their progress. Another opportunity for beginning band to gain experience while demonstrat- ing its progress was the football and basketball games at which it played. Mr. Dezell, commenting on the band's progress, said that this year's group was the most talented of any Wilson has had so far. HE DESIRE to make girls' chorus an outstanding group resulted in the formation of a new class this year for Mr. Eugene Nelson, director of vocal music. Try-outs for this class, advanced girls' glee, were held in the spring of l96U so that Mr. Nelson could determine early the girls best suited for the select group. The girls chosen met every day this year during second period and held early morning rehearsals to perfect their musical ability and prepare for public appearances. Advanced girls' glee was first heard by the public in The Sound of Music, Wilson's fall concert. The girls wore their new outfits - striking dress sheaths in three shades of blue - at their three main public performances, the fall concert, the Christmas pro- gram, and the spring concert. The success of advanced girls' glee this year will make it a yearly offered subject. IRLS' glee is a subject open to all girls who enjoy singing and have an interest in music. Members of girls' glee, under the direction of Mr. Nelson, are given voice training and a basic knowledge of music theory, those seriously interested in music are prepared for membership in advanced girls' glee.
