fcontinuedj part of a Music Week concert. Plans to attend another youth concert by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra began germinating in the late fall, and on December 7, the eagerly anticipated trip was taken. Since SAO was needed to take the new Bearcat bus to Kansas Ctiy, the orchestra sold homemade candy twice and sponsored a movie. The day brought many memorable experiences and everyone enjoyed the concert in beautiful Music Hall, Chaperones for the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sandford, Mrs. Dale Howland, and our student teacher,Mr. Stan Summers. Since most members of the orchestra are in Junior High or are underclassmen,our chances for progress are excellent. The orchestra is eager to continue and new members are alwa s welcome. Many instruments can be rented from the college, and group instuction is provided for beginners.
