Mr. J. Edward Coe, director, meets with the band for practice sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the noon hour, and also after school on Thursday. On November 22, the music department came forth with its first concert of the year. The program consisted of instrumental solos by members of the band and vocal solos by Mass Chorus members. Charles Aschenbrenner, student director, directed the band through two marches, and the band and chorus combined on several numbers. To show their Christmas spirit the band, along with the Mass Chorus, presented a Christmas pro- gram and Cantata on the evening of December 21, just before Christmas vacation, Entertainment dur- ing the evening included a cantata, Glad Tidings of Great Joy, by Richard Kountz, which was given by the junior and senior girls and Boys' Chorus. Christmas carols were sung by Mass Chorus accom- panied by the band. In the latter part of February the music lovers showed their ability in another most welcome con- cert. This consisted largely of popular songs, which were played by the band. At the close of the program the band played the well-known Wanderer over- ture by K. L. King, and then the entire assemblage sang the Star Spangled Banner. To climax the 1949-50 season, the band and music department presented their annual Music Festival the last week in May. To raise funds for music and new instruments, the band raffled at Christmas time five boxes of choc- olates. In recognition of the seniors' work and time in the band, Mr. Coe treated them, along with the rest of the band, to a picnic and a show in the evening. The following is a list of seniors in the band, the instuments they play, and the number of years each has spent in the band: Patricia O'Rourke, trombone, four years, Ila Mae Rogers, saxophone, three years, Irma Kerchner, Eb Alto saxophone, four years, Gilbert Goy, trumpet, two years, George Malach, trumpet, three years, Charles Morrissey, trumpet, one and one-half years, Charles Aschenbrenner, snare drum, four years, Jane Long, bass drum, three and one-half years. A fourth of a credit is given toward graduation to each member of the band for each year of successful participation, f' 1
