The band received a superior rating at Band Day at the University of Arizona on October 17. Half-time performances at the football games, first public appearance of the year, gave the band members marching experience. Then on December 17, the Christmas concert was given by both the concert band and concert choir. One of the best concerts CHS has ever had. On February 13, the band again joined with concert choir to give a Pop concert. In order to raise funds for more music, admission was charged for this concert. Advertising space was also sold in the programs that were printed and given to every person in attendance. The last concert of the year was the spring concert on April 28. The band participated in the District Music Festival at Eastern Arizona Junior College in Thatcher in April. Before attending the district festival at Thatcher an elimination contest was held in the bandroom to dete rmine those soloists and ensembles that would participate in the festival. The following soloists took part in local competition: Arleen Blair, trumpet; Julio Coronado, drums; Roxie Goodman, clarinet; Bob Tea, trombone; and Ruth Fernandez, alto sax- ophone. Ensembles competing were: saxophone quartet composed of Ruth Fernandez, Karen Berry, Gretna Phinizy, and Margaret Tea; brass quartet composed of Arleen Blair, Norma Morris, Jimmy LeBar, and Bob Tea; and a clarinet quartet. Bands, soloists, and ensembles with high ratings went from the district contest to the regional contest at the University of Ari- zona in May. Each month during the year an outstanding bandsman was selected. Persons selected were: September-Arleen Blair, October-Ruth F e r na nd e z , November-Bob Tea, December-Stephen Stanton, and January-Margaret Tea. Outstanding bandsmen were also chosen for February, March, April, and May. At the end of the school year one of the nine outstanding bandsmen was awarded a two-week scholarship to music camp at Arizona state College at Flagstaff. A scholarship was also awarded to the most outstanding senior band member. Band officers for the year were: president, Arleen Blair; vice-president, Steve Stanton; secretary-treasurer, Ruth Fernandez; librarians, Margaret Tea and Nedra Webster. Student directors were Arleen Blair and Stephen Stanton. Mr. Bill Morris was band director.
