Band Since its organization in October, 1947, the Don Bosco band has grown from a small nucleus of ten to the present forty members. lt was due to the efforts of Mr. A. Gehrke, the band director, that the unit has developed into the entertaining group that it now is. Everyone remembers the lively music Csport marches and polkasl played at assemblies and basketball games. A real spirit creator! ln its choice of Mr. Gehrlce, the faculty has given the school an experienced director. He comes to us as the present director of the famous Cutler-Hammer Band of Milwaukee. Daily individual lessons to beginners and others, plus the frequent group rehearsals, have been repaid in the band unit we now have. The student interest in the band at present augurs well for its continued success and greater increase in numbers for the future.
