Ham! Alter many mornings of marching, and many hours of practicing, the long awaited Centennial Day arrived. The band members, dressed in their gay red and white uniforms, marched proudly ahead of the Rural School Floats. Many very good remarks were made about their marching. If some of the members could have heard all of them, they probably would have held their heads high at any encounter with members of other bands. They certainly have earned those remarks with their diligent practice and attendance. November 11. 1936. The Pep Band played at Lake Mills for the last game of the season. The Band Major wore his new dazzling maroon and white uniform. November 19. 1936. For the first time, the Jefferson High School Band played over the air giving a very excellent broadcast. The organization arrived at Madison. Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P. M. Immediately they went to the studio of W.I.B.U. and prepared themselves to give to the world the best they had. At 4.00 P. M. the program was started with a snappy march w hich was followed by an outstanding overture. To change the whole atmosphere created by the peppy march and overture, they played a piece which was very slow. soft, and dreamy. A fine trombone solo was played by Maynard Sell. Then Kenneth Strohbusch played a piano solo. This was also very well done. An overture followed by a few marches concluded the program at 4:50 P. M. Many people enjoyed this program and feel very proud of their Jefferson High School Band. Friday. Dec. 4th. the instrumental music organizations of the school, under the direction of Mr. Anhalt, presented a very fine program to a large audience. This concert is presented every fall to show parents the progress their children make. The Junior Band, composed of 35 members, definitely showed their advancement. A number of the children played excellent solos. The program was concluded by selections played by the senior band. One of the best numbers was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. It was something unusual and was cleverly played. This organization consists of sixty members. It has two group rehearsals each week. Mr. Lee acts as business manager and assistant to Mr. Anhalt in conducting this organization. Junior .Band M embers CORNET: Harlow’ Schoessler. Barbara Hetland, Esther Bienfang.

The audience was spell-bound, when six drummers paraded down the center aisle, beating out the introduction to Semper Fidelis. Throughout the entire piece they played their parts in a diamond formation in front of the band. After this, overtures. Carnival, and Panora, a march. Imperial and a selection from Korsakov were played. Still another amazing piece followed, called Jolly Coppersmith, during which a group of band members sang. The concert was concluded with the Star-Spangled Banner. Thus a very happy and appreciative audience stood gazing upon the splendor of the J.H.S. Band, as the last strains of the Star-Spangled Banner faded away. PACE TWET.NY SEVE.N
