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.
