Strictly black tie affairs, two concerts with the Band started the year. The first featured Alan Olson playing Eb Trumpet Concerto by Hayden. Edison was the location of the second. An attentive student body rewarded the Orchestra's March 2nd concert. Susan Thompson, cellist, played her win- ning state solo number and Andre Rachels, first string bassist, also played. Local, district, and state Solo and Ensemble Contests challenged the Orchestra. Individual mem- bers met the challenge by winning more iirst and second ratings than the musicians of most other schools. In April, the full Orchestra entered the State Contest in Hammond. When music was needed, John Adams called on the Orchestra for it: North Central Teachers Association, The Thread That Runs So True, the National Honor Society inductions, Baccolaureate and Commencement. Selected musicians, part of the all-city Orchestra, provided the music for the Gypsy Baron. 24 I Conant, T. Mabrey, G. Belcher, F. Goldsmith, E. Holstein, M. Badger, F. Bogan, L. Mow, S.
