Music ' The school band was organized in September of this year under the direct- ion of Mr. Brink and with the following officers: President .............................. Norma Stahmer Vice-President ......... ..... H elen. Hines Secretary - Treasurer . . . . . Carlene Neuhaus' Librarian ............. ....... R obert Brink Reporter ............................ Marie Unverfehrt The first public appearance of this year's band was at the annual Open House observance of American Education' Week. Its next public appearance was at the pie and box supper held for the benefit of the Hoyletonian for 1947. During basketball season, the band played for several games, and played for the first night and the finals of the county tournament which was held here. Last year on April 6, the band was entered in the state district contest which was held at Highland. Due to our small enrollment, we were placed in Class D where we recieved a third rating. The numbers played at the contest were Blue Eagle . a march, Poem . :1 tone poem, and King Kohrah , an overture. This year's band will be unable to enter the state contests because the instrumentation is not great enough. Six days later, on April 12, a bus was chartered to take the band and chorus members to Ashley for the Washington County Music Festival. After an afternoon of practice under the various band and chorus directors of the county, a program featuring the individual bands and choruses as well as a massed band and a massed chorus was presented to a large audience. T his year, the annual music festival will be held at the Okawville High School on April 25. The band of 1945-46 held weekly concerts all during the summer until they were discontinued in August due to cold weather. 1 The chorus for 1946-1947 was also organized in September. Mrs. Muriel Brink is the chorus director. The chorus has sung for several occasions this year including several selections at the Open House, a 15 minute program at the fall Teachers Institute at Nashville, and the operetta. Last year's chorus was entered in the state district contest under the dir- ection of Miss Virginia Cain. Competing in Class D. we recieved a second rating and a certificate of award. The last event for this year's group will be graduation. VVe are going to sing several numbers that night, but we are not going to enter the state contests.
