Davis. and There's somefhing excifing aboui' a band - 'fhe sfirring rhyfhm of fhe drums, 'rhe plainfive moan of fhe sax, yes, even 'fhe shrill pipe of 'rhe piccolo. Roufine? Never! Every day a new sound is produced in a hundred differenf ways. Even Mr. Davis enlivens his expression of opinion wifh amusing commenfs. Consfanf changes in femperamenf, fempera- fure, and fempo make fhe bandroom one of fhe mosf inferesfing spofs in school. An unsolved mysfery sfill exisfs, for no one seems fo know whefher or nof 'fhe maesfro himself fool: an acfive parf in making fhe soundproof curfains which now grace fhe enfire room. Has anyone noficed fhe sfudied concenfrafion of fhe boys when +hey're playing? Here is a frown on fhe 'face of fhe flufe player, i'here's a blissfully happy counfenance gleaming from fhe coils of a huge horn, and every pair of feef keeping unquesfionable fime wifh 'rheir direcfor. The band's 'full schedule of appearances included foofball games, assemblies, fhe Spring Concerf, and fhe senior play. Hard work found Hs compensafions in fun and companionship never fo be forgoffen by 'rhe hundreds of fhe Green and Whife musicians.
