MUSIC IN UNIFOR by BETH McCATH '47 Uniformity in marching and concert presentations gained for the F.H.S. band statewide recognition and numerous com- mendations. Tops in uniforms were the fifteen elect- ed officers. The rating of Captain was held by Bob Olsen: Quartermaster, lack Cowan, Signal majors, Shir Lee Boggs, Iackie Dunker, and Claudine Hoppell, Student Director, lohn Carlson, Mascot, clarinet player, Bill Letzkusg Corporals: swf Q ty ' itll, is Y Smile prettyl Not a torced but natural cheerfulness comes from this attractive trio, left to right, Claudine Hoppel, Iackie Dunker. and Shir Lee Boggs. Much of the confi- dence and composure of the marching band was derived from the seemingly calm and self-assured maiorettes. Lead- ing the band meant thinking in double time and accuracy in every strut. Pllan Crandall, Kay Carlson, Dick Larsen, Betty Roessler, Don Diers, Bill Hall, Bob Petersen, Le Roy Petersen, and Leo Schmidt. These efficient officers shared with Walt the responsibilities which are a necessary part of every organization of this type. Striving for marching perfection was the first project of the musical group. ln addition to the many practices held dur- ing class time, members of the band arose at an early hour in order to have a special eight-thirty session at the football fCn'ntinued on page 181 Page 16

This effort was not in vain, for the band provided spectacular entertainment for the capacity crowds of the home foot- ball games. Presenting for the first home game something new, something old, they formed the grand piano with its move- able keys and a trumpet with playing valves. Grads and students of the Fre- mont-Omaha North Homecoming game witnessed an entirely novel routine. While playing When lrish Eyes Fire Smiling and Let Me Call You Sweet- heart, the band maneuvered into a shamrock and a heart pierced with an arrow. Using a Mother Goose theme for the Grand lsland home game, the band marched into a London Bridge, a Mul- berry bush, Old King Cole's pipe, and a twinkling star. Featured in the final show for the McCook game were formations of pine trees and a dog house with Pluto Pup as main character. On October sixth the band entered the I-lk-Sar-Ben marching contest but un- fortunately did not place. H second trip for the band was to the Hastings football game where they repeated the Mother Goose show. Hlthough changing from a top ranking marching band to a superior ninety-piece concert band is a difficult feat, Fremont's band was not to be stopped. ln an all in- strumental concert February ZO, the band proved themselves worthy of praise. Features of this concert were their ar- rangements: Prayer and Dream Panto- mime -Humperdinck, Steamed Valves, -Walters, and Cruiser Chicago, -Oli- vadoti. Participating in the District Music Contest, Flpril 19 was included in the spring plans along with other civic af- fairs. The '46-'47 repertoire of the band in- cluded numbers ranging trom jive to symphonies and from novelties to the ac- companiment of soloists. Compositions of Wagner, Hayden, and Rachmaninoff could be found in the music folders. The Three Bobs, Bob Olsen, Bob Pet- ersen, and Bob Shaw, were a favorite in the small group classification. ln their initial performance in the Iunior Orpheum they did an interpretation of the Cornet Polka -first in polka style, as Guy Lom- bardo, and personifying Horace Heidt's three trumpeteers.
