as the Band Played On The glory of a band, whether playing a thunder- ing march or delicate symphony, grips the heart of any listener. For as music is a universal lan- guage, a well-drilled, well-led band is a versatile orator, a speaker which, be it at Roanoke or else- where, commands the attention of all who appre- ciate beauty in sound. The Stonewall senior band, a united group of able musicians, spoke at many public appear- ances: at ball games; in summer marches such as the North Webster Mermaid Festival; at fall and Christmas concerts; in a spring musical hit, So This Is Paris ; and in an old-fashioned Memorial Day parade. Members displayed perhaps more clearly their individual talent in the annual NISBOVA contest, and in so doing revealed the hours of determined practice always preceding any performance before any audience. Senior band officers for 1965-1966 are Karen Keefer, librarian; Tom McPherren, co-captain; Steve Eisenhut, captain; Carol Schoeff, assistant librarian; and Susan Bauer, secretary.

Hot jazz, wild Dixieland, smooth mood music, pop tunes, Broadway favorites, and ancient numbers of the twenties and thirties — these make quite a professional-sounding repertoire, but all were products of the RHS dance band as it rocked and swung at the Penny Supper, the NISBOVA con- test, and in weekly jam sessions. To those who liked creative contemporary music, the dance band gave it, slow and mellow, or fast and loose. From whence do accomplished high-school musicians spring? All senior band students have learned their fundamentals In the elementary grades before entering the limelight of more ad- vanced instrumental achievement. Again in ' 66, the younger artists laid the groundwork for future virtuosity with brass, woodwind, and percussion, both in entering the glamorous NISBOVA competi- tion and practicing the very familiar B scale. Flute-tooters Connie Lund, Karen Keefer, and Karen Burkart combine to form a melodious trio.
