The Detroit Schoolmens Chorus, under the direction of our Fine Arts Department Head, Mr. Robert Jones, added a professional overtone and dignity to the 1958 Bandarama production. Colorful floats, costumed dancers, confetti, and Mardi Gras music filled the stage as the festive finale brought the Bandarama musical extravaganza to a close. 5-we-we -'mu wa Bandarama of 1958 presented a festi- val of music in a gay holiday mood. A colorful Mardi Gras backdrop and clus- ters of omamented balloon faces set the stage for this year's production by the Cody bands under the direction of Jack Shelby. A program highlight was the Detroit Schoolmen's Chorus medley of songs which included selections from My Fair Lady. The Cody Combo's rendition of Intermission Riff in modern jazz, and other novelties featuring modern dancers and story narrators added much variety to the evening's performance. Keeping with tradition, the Cody faculty presented their version of What a Strife, which was an original comic farce of student life. The program ended with a'musical fanfare and a grand Mardi Gras festival parade. MAJORETTES . . . Front Row: G. James C. Endahl. Second Row: M. Eros. Back Row: B. Hunter, C. Seeba.
