ORCHESTRA Almost any day this year, anyone happening to be near the Music Department of the Lab- oratory School could have heard the sweet strains of music played by the college orchestra at practice. With a membership larger than ever before, the college orchestra has added much to various school functions. It was the orchestra which furnished music for the Messiah , given at Christmas time in College Hall by the entire Music Department of the school. Music has been furnished several times for convocations throughout the year. In addi- tion, the orchestra played for the three Syca- more Players' productions given this year at the Sycamore Theatre. The type of music played by the orchestra is definitely above the kind played by average musicians. Mr. Arthur Hill directs this group and writes special arrangements to be played.

At every football game the band was on hand to add spirit and zest to the occasion. Everyone re- members with pleasure the arrangements pre- sented by the band during the intermissions of the basketball games. These numbers were ar- ranged by a group of young men, student mem- bers of the band. With spring in the air, the marching band was transformed into a symphonic band. This entirely new type of band included new in- struments such as the accordian, cello, violin, flute, piano, and harp. Excellent work was done in rearranging old pieces of music to a more modern style to satisfy the needs of the new band. The organization is proud of the fact that all the work in the new project was accomplished by students under the guidance of Mr. Bright. BAND S'rArE's MARCHING BAND guy,

The choir, consisting this year of forty-two voices, is directed by Mr. Lowell M. Tilson, head of the music department of the school. The choir has appeared on programs at the State Teachers Associations and the National Education Association, and members of the group appeared on broadcasting programs at Nashville, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri. The choir opened its concert season in Terre Haute on Sunday evening, April 3, with an appearance at the First Baptist Church. Con- cert trips were made throughout the state, starting with a trip to Oxford on April 5. One of the most outstanding programs of the year -was the annual presentation of the Messiah during the Christmas season. This year the group had as its guest soloist for this program Mr. Roland Pease. 4. l A . COLLEGE CHOIR
