BAND The band-'is the one organization in School hich includes both grades and high school, and for that reason may be considered the most im- portant activity sponsered by the Board of Edu - cation. Training in music is essential to every boy and girl. In addition to learning how to play an instrument participation in band work teaches both cooperation and modesty, for one may not be soloist until he has developed superior skill through patient practice in a subordinate part. Last summer the Board of Education purchased uniforms ft»r the entire band. These have improved i appearance of the group in addition to adding to their pride in belonging to the band. Each ember received a cap and cape tailored to fit him and was merely required to purchase white slacks to complete the outfit. At the G-ouvemeur Fair last August, the Richville School Band made creditable showing and was awarded a cash prize for merit. The State Department of Education has approved the Richville School Band for Regents credit. This means that each qualified member may help to satisfy the requirements for high school grad- uation through his work in the band. In order to fulfill the requirements of three hours of en- semble per week, the band this year held its practice during the noon hour on Mondays and Tues- days. The Band has given several concerts during the past school year. On April 4, 1938, a program was put on at the Grange Hall for the benefit of the Dublic of Richville and vicinity. This concert was very well received. A series of joint outdoor oncerts together with the school bands of Rens- elear Falls andHammond (also under tbs direction ■of Mr. Jebo) wae held, the first being put on very successfully at Richville on the Baptist church grounds. The members of the band appreciate their good fortune in being under the direction of Mr. Jebo. fhey wish to thank him and wish him good luek«
