The first instrumental instruction was given during the years 1928-1930, when Miss M. Thompson, now Mrs. W. A. Rider, started a small orchestra. Somehow, this small germ de- veloped to the present instrumental program. 1t developed so rapidly after it was first started that the Board decided to employ a man, Mr. Donald Armstrong, who was a specialist in in- strumental music. So he, in 1930, started the first school band. 1t was quite a lop-sided or- ganization with the drums and brass instrumentation so much in evidence that no other in- struments could be heard. During two years, however, it took on a lot of shape and when the department was taken over in 1932 by Miss Louise Mignin, this organization had grown into one that could be shaped quite suddenly into a pretty acceptable music organization. ln fact, her continued drill and exacting demands developed the organization into one that took state honors in 1935. During those same years the orchestra took district honors in the state. However, the development of such organizations is somewhat slow after they reach a certain stage. Consequently, during the years 1935 to 1939 there was a slow but constant de- velopment in the instrumentation of the band and orchestra under Miss Lois Fees as supervi- sor. All other schools were uniforming their bands and the public demanded that we should. We did not undertake this task until about two or three years later than the other schools. The cost seemed to be prohibitive until 1940, when the task was accepted under the leadership of Miss Lois Fees, and uniforms costing 5835.00 were purchased for the 34 members of the band. This was one of the biggets improvements for the band and the musical department for several years. It stimulated and encouraged the band members and public to the extent that in the fall of 1940 the Board of Education hired a band leader, Mr. Donald Parlette, to take care of this one organization. During the month of February 1941, another attempt was made to raise money to pur- chase 8 additional student uniforms and a director's uniform. A campaign consisting of a ham dinner, band concert and play was conducted, the proceeds netting the necessary funds. The band and orchestra have been faithful and willing in producing music for every oc- casion. They have become something of a drawing card at the County Fair, Bryan Homecom- ing, our own Homecoming and elsewhere in the vicinity. They have carried the blue and gold of Archbold High School far and wide and have helped to make a wide circle of people conscious of the fact that Archbold exists and is doing things. The organization does not have as many members as some nearby schools. We have in- sisted on quality, not quantity. As funds are accumulated and musicians are developed, we hope to increase the number and eventually have complete instrumentation. Our aim is the ex- pression of the music that is in the heart of each student and thus make for a happier world in which to live.
