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.

The two soloists for the band were Leo Schmidt and Dick Larsen. Doris Lang, Emil Roy, Bob Olsen, lackie Dunker, and Dick Larsen were chosen to represent the Fremont band in the elev- enth annual clinic, held in Lincoln, No- lt there was any music group of which MRRGRRET FHYE HEFLEY wasn't a participant, the reason did not lie in the lack of talent. In the Band K2, 3, 41 her instrument was drums. In Dance Band KZ, 3, 41 she was mater of the keys, in orchestra it was string bass, while both voice and piano were advantageous to her in R Cappella Choir K41. Margar-et Faye did not confine herself to music alone, for she joined Y-Teens KZ, 3, 41, Dramatics K41 and Pep Club KZ, 3, 41. Flfter a year at Midland College, she will finish in the Iulliard School of Music. IOYCE E. NELSON, a Midland prospect, was a typical high school student who showed enthusiasm and pride in a variety of organ- izations. Y-Teens KZ, 31, Student Librarian K41, Student Council K31, Band KZ, 3, 41, Rustler Typist K41, and Pep Club KZ, 31 records verify the stat-ement. Overcoming his shyness, ROBERT GEORGE OLSEN was elected vice-president KZ1, of Hi-Y K3, 41, president of Student Council K41, and captain of Band K41. H trumpet protege, Bob rated a superior in the National Music Contest when in the eighth grade.

Hfter two and one-halt days of rehearsals, the clinic band was prepared to play in the final concert. Mr. Harold Bachman, of the Chicago band, was guest conductor. The six selections were March, Trombone King by King, Gulmant's Choral March and Fugue, Minerva Overture, composed by the guest conductor of the clinic orchestra, De Rubertis, Bacto's Prelude and Chorus from Mefistofelef' Long's Lincoln Lyric Overture, and Sousa's march, The Gla- diator. The thrill and experience of bee ing a member of such a band was not temporary for each participant took back new knowledge to be used by their own organizations. I Then of course there was the more serious aspect ot the band. Every mem- Blending their tones, the cornet sextet, Bob Olsen. Ted Schmidt, Syvia Krasne, Bob Shaw, Hlan Crandall, and Bob Petersen, blew circles around other high school competition. The com- bination appeared before several civic affairs. U.
