•I i The Alexandria High School Band, under the direction of L.E. Christenson, had a full year, giving the annual Pop Concert and also playing at the Kiwanis Concert. In addition to providing a Pep Band at various sports events, the 102-piece group participated in the District 22 Band Con- test. Several members also took part in the February Solo-Ensemble Contest. Stage Band, in its second year, was real- ly swinging. Comprised mainly of brass and percussion instruments, it specialized in playing tunes from the Big Band Era of the 30's. More than just fun, stage band music taught those playing it a great deal about rhythm and showmanship. Christy ' strived to teach not only- notes throughout the year, but also far more important, discipline, responsibility, and a genuine feeling for music to all who were under his direction. son.
