BAND If you've attended a Varsity basketball game this year, you've heard the band play, and perhaps you've seen it strut its stuff. It has also displayed its abilities at Ladies' Aid meetings, at the Christmas party, and at various churches in Milwaukee. But the climax of all its performances was reached in the numbers rendered at the Concordia Show. From a small beginning last year the band has developed into a very able group of young musicians. Much credit tor its growth and for the rapid musical advance made by its members belongs to George Hans Liebenow, president of the band. who not only devoted much time to practice, but also ably instructed young members in various wind instruments. President Leroy C. Rincker also rendered valuable aid to the band, in helping to organize it, in encouraging the Ladies' Aid to purchase instruments for new- comers, and in securing Mr. Arthur Griebling as a director. No better testi- monial of Mr. Griebling's abilities can be given than to hear and to see the band as it is today. Since it is composed chiefly of lower classmen, this organization has a very bright future. With three promising drum majors, Harold Hecht, Louis Marting, and Robert Moehle, listed among its members, the band should become a high-stepping and impressive company of marchers. The officers of the band are George Liebenow, President, Robert Boedecker, Vice-President, Robert Stade, Secretary and Treasurer, Elmer Schwartzkopf. Librarian, Eugene Gruell, Stage Manager, and Elmer Matthias, Assistant Stage Manager. U71

At the beginning of the school year there seemed to be a decided lack of interest in this organiza- tion, chiefly because of a dearth of violinists and other string-instrument players. But since the nucleus of the orchestra consisted of students who delighted in practicing and playing semi-popular, semi-classical, and classical music, and since these music-lovers continued to meet every Saturday morn- ing for practice under the skilled directorship of Prof. Karl Markworth, they developed a fine playing ability. There are still rather few violinists, but much has been done to remedy the situation. A few of the younger boys have been taking instructions from Gordon Badtke, president of the orchestra, and others have begun to practice very faithfully. In spite of the difficulties that beset its path the orchestra was able to draw the attention of Concordia's friends. It gave creditable renditions of several rather difficult numbers at the Christmas party, and it also enter- tained at several meetings of the Ladies' Aid. With more support and encouragement it should be able to furnish splendid entertainments next year. The officers of the orchestra are Gordon Radtke, President, Elmer Schwartzkopf, Secretary and Librarian, and Paul Heinecke, State Manager. l46l
