I 722 Jfuaic fffmfeu An important part of school life is Baldwin's well- known band. To maintain its excellent reputation the members have labored willingly almost before dawn, morning after morning. Under the direction of Arnold W. Berndt, the instru- mental groups of Baldwin have made long, forward strides during the year of 1944. With patience, per- severance, and plenty of hard work, he succeeded in developing a first class group. For solo and en- semble work, Mirs. Berndt's assistance proved invalu- able to the players. Outstanding among numbers undertaken were Rhapsody in Blue, by George Gershwin, and The Merry Wives oi Windsor. by Otto Nicolai. Included in the repertoire were such marches as Pigskin Pageant, by David Bennett, and The March of the Steel Men, by Charles Belsterling. Thanksgiving Day there was the annual conflict with Royal Oak. The band participated in a United Nations Pageant with the Acorn Band. lt also played for all of the home football games. Playing for bas- ketball games and for student assemblies was also included in the program. Much interest was displayed in the Southeastern Michigan Band and Ensemble Festival, which was held in Highland Park. Seventeen members of Bald- win's instrumental groups entered in the festival, and substantially upheld BaldWin's reputation. Several Baldwin music students were selected to play in the Southeastern Michigan Band, which sponsored a concert in Baldwin Auditorium, April l.
