Foster. ...OS ri c u use 'um . Under the guidance of Herrmann Priebe, the band of l9LL-L5 began operations with new and youthful personnel, aided by a few veterans of past years. The band deserves much credit, for the director rapid ly rounded it into shape to march and play for the home football games. The unit presented colorful drills be- tween halves. Its most impressive appearance was that of leading the spectators in the traditional 'Snake Dance' at the Otsego-Allegan game. The next item of business was the approaching basket ball season. Lack of time restricted their marching to three games, but they performed in a pleasing manner at their new location on the balcony. Schedule changes at mid-year divided the band into two sections, and this factor increased the difficulty of preparing for a concert. Despite the handicap, the groups were on deck for Parents' Day with the band playing in the morning and the orchestra at noon. Memorial Day was another occasion for the band as it participated in the annual parade. with the advantage of much new talent developed this year, the l9b5-A6 band promises to effect increased inter- est and appreciation for instrumental music. 5th Row: L to R: R.
