Presenting the l956 Hobart High School Marching Band under the direction of Mr. Robert K. Webb and Mr. Alfred E. Spriester. Hobart's Marching 77 was the half-time highlight of the home football games. Their shows were entertaining and featured a score of novel ideas. Remember Judy So- tak as Santa Claus with 86 days left for Christmas shop- ping and Davy Crockett who recovered from his wounds in time to appear at the Fall Pops Concert? The drum maiors, Dennis Rice and Dick Haynes, learned to master the whistle and baton in order to lead the band through intricate drills and maneuvers. Through the efforts of the band and everyone working with them it was possible for Hobart to win another first at the marching contest held at Merrillville. The show was very cleverly done. Basically it was an appeal to all eligi- ble voters to GET OUT AND VOTE! This appeal was sur- rounded by such musical numbers as: ELEPHANT PARADE, THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT, and GOD BLESS AMERICA. When dear old Hobart High School falls in line- lt's the block H. for the Brickies! This formation and the alternating double H. together with our version of the WASHINGTON AND LEE SWING rouse our school spirit and determination to win that game! plus surprises during football half-time shows The Members ofthe Pep Band are: First Row: Nick Morganelli, Curtis Jackson, Tex Roberts, Darlene Paul, Barbara Bergeson. Second Row: Larry Eleff, Eleanor Stewart, Brianne Bal- lantyne, Peggy Farrell, Karen Downey. Third Row: Dick Haynes, Dennis Rice, Bob Neff, Dick Hanson, Bob Kaiser, Bill Morrison. 1 -NAX BHFQN Y X Q x x Evil ' R u 'if ' X Yi? X kj J, 5,4?Q .. G.'6 6o?o.A,A4 . A ' if -f f 1 27

Season climaxed by stay at U. of Illinois during 3-day tour Some of the favorites included on these pro- grams were JACOUES, COME HERE, LULLA- BY OF BIRDLAND, JESUS HAD A MOTHER LIKE MINE, and THE CREATION, by John- son, with the narration done by Tim Mitchell. Though performances were many, Mr. Simons has stated on various occasions that it is his desire to make each choir member first ci mu- sician-then a performer. He is basically inter- ested in developing the student's musical ability and knowledge as has been exemplified by the choir's past success. The second week in April choir members, Mr. Simons, and parent chaperones boarded buses amidst the confusion of misplaced robes and too much luggage. One of the treats of the tour was an afternoon on the Illinois campus at Ur- -f bana, Illinois.
