MUSIC The band, chorus, and soloists, under the direction of Mr. Ward Grantham have had an active year. Besides playing at all home basketball games, the band performed at the Brown County Fall Celebration, Booster Tag Day, Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade, March of Dimes Drive, and the Hersman Community meeting. This year marked the first appearance of the band at a District Contest for many years. The band consists of 35 members and six baton twirlers. Included in the band are the trumpet sextet and the saxophone quartet. The mixed chorus with sixty-two members presented a Christmas program. With the assistance of many soloists and ensembles from the band, the Music Department gave a Spring concert. All these groups were present at the contest in Barry: the mixed chorus, girls chorus, Melo-dears, Bells of Note and soloists. Piano accompanists for these events were Leona Pam, Carol Gibson, Adeline Pam, and Marie Gerdes. Letters were awarded this year to members of the chorus. This was done by earning merits on a minimum of 1500 and placing in the first 30% of the chorus. Those who received superior ratings at the district contest and who competed at the state contest are as follows: Joan Reathaford, Rita Bradbury, Lila Logsdon, Janis Christner, and Carlene Husted, Baton Ensemble; Rita Bradbury, Baton Solo; Dorothy Sailer, Vocal Solo, girl's low voice; David Mobley, Vocal Solo, boy's medium voice; and Mary Lewis, Flute Solo. « 14 »
