Concert Band the ever popular “Sleigh Hide” was a highlight of this program. Also, the 28th Anniversary concert given in the spring was enjoyed by everyone. The guest conductor was William D. Revelli, who has a special interest in the band because he organized it. The band participated in the Northern Indiana High School Band, Or- chestra. and Vocal Solo Ensemble Contest held at Emerson High School this year. Those receiving “firsts” in this district contest were able to go down state to Butler University in Indianapolis to take part in the all-state contest. Mr. Worthington proudly reported that from the band members who went to Indianapolis ten received firsts and two received seconds. The band tour began this year on March 14 and continued until March 21. New York was the highlight of this year’s tour, although concerts were played at many other points of interest. The band has done an exceptional job during the years they’ve been organized and both school and community hope they keep up their outstand- ing musicianship.

Hobart High School In 1934 the first Hobart High School Band was formed ;it has progressed until today we have one of the most outstanding high school bands in the country. At the beginning of the year the band put in hours of hard work prac- ticing smooth working formations to be used during half time at the football games. The precision marching, formations made in the dark with multicolor lights, and dance steps gained the wholehearted approval of the audience. Early in the year the band took part in the State Marching Contest, and, as usual, they marched off with the Sweep Stakes Trophy. Moving piatures were again taken of the band by the Indiana University Audio-Visual Center. They demonstrated basic formations. This marching continued for two days, but when the pictures were reshown they proved to be a success. The band gave several concerts again this year, including the annual fall one. The guest conductor was H. E. Nutt, and one of the outstanding selections played was “Maxinkuckee,” written by Boweles, a native of our own state. Christmas was in the air when their next concert was given, and RICHARD A.
