THE ARTS The music department of Gale -Ettrick-Trempealeau High School strives not only to obtain perfection in the mechanics of music, but also to develop responsible young adults who have a sense of pride in their organizations. The Band, under the direction of Mr. Don Rowlands, and the Mixed Chorus and Girls Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Randall Swenson, practice and perform many different types of music. Students find enjoyment in performing musical numbers and develop a sense of appreciation for all types of music. Band and Chorus students must be responsible and take it upon themselves to perform their parts to perfection. The band students put forth extra effort when they play at all home football and basketball games. Students are encouraged to participate in the solo-ensemble contest in order to develop individual skills and to experience the satisfaction of winning recognition on a personal- competition level. Mr. Green says, The excitement of art lies in not knowing. Its object is to teach value judgement, responsibility and self-reliance as well as skills and techniques necessary to art appreciation and studio work. ABOVE: Mr. R. Swenson ABOVE: Mr. F.
