KIRKSVILLE MUSIC FESTIVAL The Band members are grateful to the Parent-Teachers Association for dressing up the organization in new uniforms and also for making the trip possible. The fact that our Band was uniformed, as were most of the other bands, added to the pleasure of the meet. The largest vocal group that represented Canton High School was a girls' chorus, which contributed what was generally computed as being one of the finest interpreta- tions of Felix Mendelss0hn's Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains, taken from this composer's Oratorio, Elijah. According to the 'judges' comments, a contrasting num- ber might have earned for this group even a higher grade than II-, which is what: they actually received. Three more organizations made the trip besides those above mentioned. They were the girls' quartette, the boys' quartette, and the mixed quartette. The girls' fquartette received a rating of III by singing an arrangement by J. Christopher Marks, of an, old Welsh air, entitled All Through the Night. The boys' quartette received a rating of IV by singing, under some degree of physical handicap, To A Rose' by Louis A. Coerne. The mixed quartette received a rating of II by singing Samuel Webbesf' Breathe Soft, Ye Winds. This last mentioned group came nearest to attaining a perfect blend of all performances by our groups. All of the music rendered by the Canton High School groups was of a high type and in most instances the interpretation was difficult to perfect. All contestants returned to Canton with a feeling of satisfaction of having had! an enjoyable and profitable day in Kirksville and a resolution to work harder with bigger and better entries for a showing next year.
