Cody's marching band performed intricate preci- sion drills during half-time at home football games. Early morning practices kept bandsmen in line and in tune for these performances. Practice hours add polish to musical performances The musical stylings of Cody's vocal and instrumental classes set the stage for a variety of programs this year. Student performers presented a hit musical score for concert audiences at school and around town. Music majors practiced long hours in class for season performances. Vocal students worked on the synchronized sound effects for songs which they presented at school music assemblies. Busy Madrigal singers practiced lyric ballads of yore for performances at the Ford Auditorium and Wayne University. And the Boys Ensemble recorded a medley of songs for WDTR radio broadcasts. Students instrumentalists worked equally hard to polish up their selections for the Winter Festival. The String Orchestra arranged background music for Cody plays, too. The Cody Combo spent class hours working up a special program to entertain audiences at the COMET Kick-OU'-Rally. And the band set up novelty selections for half-time shows at home football games and Bandarama. All Cody musicians worked together to make 1959-1960 a year of top musical entertainment.
