Bright and early on the morning of April 26, members of the band were standing in front of school anxiously awaiting the word of Mr. Leach that would start them on their way. The buses carried the band about 1,400 miles that week on a tour that consisted of seeing and playing at such places as Cleveland, New York, and De- troit. While in Canada of course, they vis- ited Niagara Falls and probably wished that the tour was a little hit longer. Their spring concert in May was their final production of the year. CORNETS First Row: Norman Hill, Chuck Lake, Thelma Brown. Second Row: Helen Predmore, Jim Kerr, Dick Hanson. Third Row : Pat Ahlgrim, Bob Kaiser, Fred Libkie, Bill Harding.

The Hobart High School Concert Band under the direction of Mr. Albert Leach entertained many people with fine pro- grams this year. Members of the band participated in a busy season of programs and contests. The year started off with the Fall Pop concert and the Christmas concert. Besides prac- ticing for those appearances, student bands- men had the contests to think about and practice for. “It pays to practice!” may well be the slogan of the members of the band who participated in the state solo and ensemble contest, however, for of the 17 persons who went down state eight re- ceived medals for first; seven for second; and two for third place.

Forming the traditional “H” on our home field is only one of the many formations perfected by the marching band each year. Much tedious work went into the Homecoming half-time program as the Halloween Show, the last of the season, was presented in honor of Homecoming Queen, Barbara Kane. Hobart High School Marching Band This year the marching band’s half-time football programs were few, as the flood rav- aged the field making practice impossible. Nevertheless, three fine and entertaining pro- grams were prepared. Community Singing, the Halloween Show, and the American Cowboy Show. Due to the wet fields, the latter w’as not presented. The marching band traveled to Purdue University to participate in the First Annual High School Band Day. Teaming up with 82 bands from all over Indiana, the Hobart marching band took part in providing half- time entertainment at the Purdue-Duke game. The combined bands in three formations played various selections including the Pur- due school song. Fred Libkie, drum major, shows us how it’s done, as he leads the band through one of their routines. Fred did a great job this year, and his superb half-time performances were enjoyed by all.
