MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Blue and Gold Marching Band of Hopewell High this year added many accomplishments to its credit. New half-time shows thrilled the fans at the home football games. The stage bands also continued to improve the quality of their music. All this is due mainly to the excellent band directors we have. H.

The Senior Choir at Hopewell High improves every year under the direction of Mrs. Atkins. The Magpipes, composed of Senior Choir members, sing popular songs while adding action to them. The Glee Club allows everyone to further their ambitions in music. Musical history is just as important as the actual singing and is enjoyed just as much by the students. The choirs are just another example of the excellent quality of instruction here at Hopewell High.
