A highlight of the year was the trip to St. Cloud sponsored by the Elks Club to play two concerts at the Veterans’ Hospital at that place. It was a very enjoyable trip and comments on the concert were extremely complimentary. In April the band attended the district festival at Excelsior and were awarded a B for their performance. Several instrumental groups were interspersed with the band numbers at the spring concert. To insure parental interest in band music, the Band Mothers’ Club was organized several years ago and lately this was changed to the Band Parents Club. The Club took an active part in the raising of money for new uniforms, ordered early in March and expected in May. It will be a big day in the lives of the band members when i hey don the new purple and gold uniforms for their first appearance. At most public appearances, at least for marching, the baton twirlcrs form a colorful column at the front.

Gilbert Sullivan Band and instrumental music have a rich background in Hopkins. Two years ago, its direction was taken over by John Tesar when Mr. Christiansen left teaching to go into the music business. The organization of the Swing Band this year adds another group to carry on. This group has played for numerous dances at school and Glen Lake and for both class plays. The band last fall played for all the football games and between halves put on maneuvers for the entertainment of the crowd. Its music added appreciably to the spirit of the occasion. Several concerts were given during the year, including the grand finale spring concert. During the basketball season, the band was on hand for every game and followed the victorious team through the district, regional and state tournaments, adding laurels with each appearance.

Because we were subject to these things as a group, through it all ran a spirit of lively companionship and comradeship that knit us closely together. “We were very proud of our tribal songs and dances and each of us tried to outdo his fellows in the learning of them and in the cere-monial singing around the evening campfire. In our songs and dances, we recorded our joys and sorrows, the greatness of our warriors, our love stories, tributes to our elders. They were very beautiful and symbolic. “Our physical development was a point of pride. Among the boys it was to excell in games, contests and endurance on the hunt; among the girls perfect physical development (Continued on Activities paste)
