as .4 maze Un '7fze , saw Sade 3, l 1 we The band and orchestra again con- tributed their share of musical enter- tainment throughout this past school year. Three parades and bond drives opened the year with a Bang The Bond Rally at Avalon High School was quite a treat as our band was the only organization in attendance to play for such celebrities as Rosey Rosewell, Bob Prince, Honus Wagner, Congressman Davis, and many World War ll heroes. At the football games the band came forward with anchors, aeroplanes, let- ters V .... , a moon, and other comp- licated maneuvers and finished it off with an Indian tepee, and a war dance for the Bellevue game. Pistol Packin' Mama, We Must Be Vigilantf' and Johnny Zero were the current catch tunes of the season. The Cavalcade of Ufnired Nations concert found the auditorium bedecked with the flags of all our allies and the anthems of the various countries were presented. The highlights of the Spring Con- cert were a Park Avenue Fantasy, featuring Wesley Cotten, a saxophone quartet, the novelty Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Boogie-Woogie Band. At the Allegheny County Spring Music Festival, Avonworth was well' represented by Chuck Austin and Jack Monchecourt. Twirling was intro- duced this year as an extra-curricular activity and instruction was without charge to interested girls. The early and closing months of the school are the busiest for the band. This year was no exception, Easter Services, a concert at Emsworth, Amer- ican Legion Memorial Day Parade, a station wagon trip to the Veterans Hospital in Aspinwall, sponsored by the Jr. Red Cross and the graduation closed the year. lncidentally the Minstrel Show ar- rangement Mr. Lomakin made for Charlie Austin's band of Swanee River is being published. Mr. Lomakin cordially invites any- one who can dig up a horn or violin to see him about preparing for the band or orchestra.
