Band and Choruses Hamjiton High liad reason to be justly proud of its fine music depart- ment vith a one-hundred twenty-six piece band, a seventy voice A’Cap- pella Choir, and one hundred twenty-five other music students. More representatives were sent to All-District and All-State Chorus and Band from H.H.S. than any other local high school. Twenty-five representa- tives were sent from the A’Cappella, while the band had thirty-three so honored members. The choral department was headed by Mr. Sidney Swiggett, assisted by Mrs. Sandra Poynter, who directed the Girls’ Chorus. Four concerts were held during the year; in the Fall, W’inter, Spring, and at Christmas. Assentblies also offered an excellent opportunity for the choirs to per- form. Besides all of the school associated concerts, the choruses also per- formed for many outside organizations, such as churches and civic or- ganizations. The Hampton Choir was host to the District VI 1 1 All-Re- gional Chorus this year. Therefore, being a member of a school choir vas no easy task, for much extra time and energy outside of class must be spent in the preparation and presentation of concerts. An example of the excellence of the Hampton High A’Cappella was the superior-plus rating that the choir recewed at the District VHI Choral Festival. The year’s work was highlighted by the A’Cappella’s trip to New York and the Vorld’s Fair which the members so richly deserved. Mr. T. T. Lawrence, besides serving as head of Hampton’s music de- partment, directs the bands. Each of the students played in one or more of the four bands — concert, symphonic, marching, or dance. Concerts were presented in the Fall, at Christmas, in the Winter, and again in the Spring. The members of the band received superior ratings at the Music Festival held at Varwick in March. The program for the Spring Con- cert included some of the most difficult selections ever presented. Definitely, the music department contributed much to the prestige and the general development of the school. Band members returned to school after the Armed Forces Day parade one hot Saturday. This was one of the first public showings of the new uniforms. Donald Berry wears his here.
