ZHigh School J and The Ellendale High School Band, now under the able direction of Mr. Sheppard, has made great prog- ress since its first organization fourteen years ago. Last fall it was decided that the band needed uniforms. However, this called for money; so a carnival was planned. This OOMPAH, as it was called, was held on February 13, and was a great success. The big event of the year was the annual con- cert held March 31, and it was here that the new uniforms were initiated. The uniforms consist of capes and caps which are cardinal and black, the school colors. With these are worn white slacks, white shirts, and black ties. The program for the concert was composed of the following numbers: America arr. Panella Prestissimo K. L. King Hall of Fame Olivadoti Mighty Lak’ a Rose Nevin (Trumpet Solo — Neil Smith) The Plains of Peace D’Auvergne Barnard (Trombone Solo — John Blumer) Drummers’ Delight Edwards Pride O’ the Land Goldman Moonlight on the Nile K. L. King Queen City Weidt Pomposo A1 Hayes (Sousaphone Solo — Lowell Hamar) Bag o’ Bones — Trombone Novelty Clayton Mills Iron Count K. L. King Washington Post Sousa Star Spangled Banner arr. Panella Besides playing at a number of basketball games the band also appeared at the Dickey County Play Festival and the Senior play, “Jane Eyre.” DICKEY-LAMOURE BAND FESTIVAL An annual event that is stimulating to band ac- tivity is the four-school band festival, which was held in Ellendale this year. Represented in the festival are the school bands of Edgeley, LaMoure, Oakes and Ellendale. As in the past three years Mr. J. A. Holvik, director of the famous Concordia Col- lege band, was the guest conductor. Members of the senior band are as follows : Trumpets: Neil Smith, Clinton Hess, Monty Brouillard, Jacques Roland, Donald Juberg, Orrin Morrow, Llwellyn Lynde. Clarinets: Jay St. John, Phyllis Judd, Ilene Ful- ler, Robert Colemen, Bobby Dillingham, Keith Seh- nert, Victor Strand. Alto: Eunice DuRand, Kenneth Isaak. Drums: Rolia DuRand, James Miles. Baritone: Phyllis Fleming. Basses: Lowell Hamar, Ivan Benderwald. Trombone: John Blumer, Russell Heine. The junior band has also made much progress. Some of them will “graduate” into the senior band next year to take the place of seniors who are leav- ing. Trumpets: Eva King, Vivian Huber, Kirk Ehlers. Clarinets: Billy Randall, Barton Slemmons. Alto: Amaryllis Ehlers. Baritone: Marylin Pfeifer, Willis Fleming. Bass : Ernest King. Trombone: Boyd Blumer. Drums: Phyllis Fleming, Malcolm Goddard,, Monty Brouillard.
