MARCHING BAND

Page 85 text:

in T ea.......L wi, Ar? CONCERT BAND The Elizabethtown School System has 140 stu- dents participating in the instrumental music pro- gram under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Neidig. The 55-piece marching band performs at all home football games, the State Fair, homecoming parade, Derby parade in Louisville, and the inaugural parade in Frankfort. The 40-piece concert band presents in addition to the annual spring concert, radio programs, grade school concerts, and performs at several county schools. The pep band has made itself well-known to the public through performances for all basketball games, pep rallies, Sidewalk Days, the L. 8: N. Centennial, and radio and television. E.H.S. was fortunate in having two members selected to the 90-piece All-Kentucky High School Band in Bowling Green. The second annual solo contest was held with each student playing a wlo with piano accompani- ment and judged by a professional musician. In these days of great interest to applied tech- nology, it seems appropriate that we heed the advice of the eminent conductor, composer, and educator, Leonard Bernstein. I think it is time we learned the lesson of our century: that the progress of the human spirit must keep pace with technological and scientific progress, or that spirit will die. It is in- cumbent on our educators to remember this, and music is at the top of the spiritual must list. Our Elizabethtown Instrumental Music Department is dedicated to this conviction.
