BAJWD The band, composed ol' both grade and high school students, has an enroll- ment of fifty. It has shown great progress the past two years under the direction of Mr. Myllan Smyers. In the spring of 1940 the band entered the district contest, which was held at Bement, lllinois. Since it was the first year, Class D for beginning bands was entered. First division ratings in both concert playing and sight reading were received. Summer classes were held and the band presented a free concert every Xlfcdnesday night for eight Weeks, thus keeping the band in practice and ready to begin i11 earnest when school started. Football being a new sport in the fall, a marching band was developed and formations were demonstrated at the Homecoming game. Several ensemble groups were organized, adding greatly to the band. These were a brass sextet, a brass quartet, and a saxophone quartet. They were pre- sented in several public programs during the past two years. The sextet also entered the district contest at Mattoon. New uniforms have much improved the appearance of the band this year. CHORUSES An excellent year has passed for the Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus of K. C. H. S. The new members learned the fundamentals of singing, and the old ones improved their voices.
