BAND Calgary or Bust! comes the cry of all fifty-six band members as they hash over plans to attend the Calgary Stampede in the Canadian city of the same name. Work and play will both be objectives of this six-day trip in July, 1959. Besides marching in a two-and-one-half-hour parade, the J.H.S. band will tour scenic sites of the surrounding area. Under the able direction of Mr. Karl Ulmer, the Jamestown High School Concert Band made a number of well-received performances during the past year. Parades, the combined concert, the annual spring concert Qthis year a benefitl, the State Dairy Show, home football and basket- ball games, and Jamestown's Diamond Jubilee are only a few of the events at which this popular organization appeared. An important offspring of the band is its many ensembles, According to Mr. Ulmer, expe- rience in small groups 'ts vital in providing for the individual training in such areas as coop- eration, independence in technique, and listening for tone quality. Presiding officers for 1958-59 were Alf Clausen, president, Ronald Tompt, vice-president, Elisabeth Sorkness, secretary-treasurer, Larry McAlpin, Suzanne Jakes, and Gaylon Swanson, librarians. 23 2
