Bond The Irrigon School Band was organized September 10, under the direction of its leader, Leroy Darling. Its present membership is 43 and includes all but four students in High School. Every in- strument is new to its performer. The school would like to thank the Board of Education for their complete support of this organi- zation. The Irrigon Band boasts of one of the most complete instrumen- tations for this size of school in the United States. Such instru- ments as oboe, bassoon and French horn are unique in the devel- opment of a symphonic organization. Educators have long known the value of musical training as an aid in building sound educational foundations, along with the basic studie.s of reading, writing and arithmetic. However, it has been only during the past score of years that real scientific effort has been made to discover exactly why music should be included in child training. Not only the appreciation of music is involved in this study but it is a means to instill the feeling and understanding of the bene- fits of team work. It also teaches the nicety of proper timing and, of course, discipline. The first concert was given February 20, 1946. This was given in the Auditorium and a large crowd enjoyed the varied selections. Realizing the importance of music as mental and moral building agents Mr. Darling organized this group of boys and girls between the ages of nine and eighteen years. These students are from all walks of life with varied outlooks and ambitions. It is their pride and desire to make themselves better students and citizens of Irrigon.
