Under the direction of hand leader Earl Frick, the Doylestown High School Band completed another successful year, adding much to the record of D.H.S. bands. At each pep meeting before home tootball games, band members, dressed in uniform, played thc Alma hlater and other school songs. Afterwards they marched to the athletic field, followed hy the student hody. During the football season, with the aid of the cheerleaders, they developed several new techniques. At first these proved to he a little surprising, but every one liked them. Another outstanding event at which they played was the Xvelcoming Home Concert for the returning G.I.'s. They also participated in the annual Spring Concert, and ended the season by marching in the Ixlemorial Day Parade. Several extra activities of the band included playing for a meeting of the teachers of Bucks- ixlontgomery Counties and for home baseball games. During the summer of last year, the band was called upon to play in local concerts, along with other music organizations.
