Here, each of the fifty-five junior and senior high members of the band, under the direction of Mr. Maule, applies his skill in playing the in- strument of his choice. A band clinic was attended during the school year. This clinic was held at Northern State College on Novem- ber 20, 1965. Six seniors joined with representatives of other schools in playing music that was unfamiliar to them. There were other highlights throughout the band year. Among these were leading the annual Homecoming pa- rade, participating in the Gypsy Day parade held at Aberdeen, and the striving for an excellent rating at the Re- gion II Music Contest also at Aberdeen on April 1 and 2. , Each musician gave a demonstration of his capabilities at the Christmas concert. These were again repeated at the Spring concert, which brought the band activities to a climax. This also brought to an end a high school music career for ten of our seniors, who played their last concert at L. H. S.

S. is the mixed chorus. This group is comprised of forty-three mem- bers, twelve of which are seniors who will partake of their grand finale in the Spring Concert. Mr. Maule, music director, is kept busy directing a girls' chorus on Monday and Wednesday, a boys' chorus on Tuesday and Thursday, and a mixed chorus on Friday. A magazine drive began the year's activities. Band and chorus members put their best foot forward in an effort to sell as many magazines as possible. This foot got into many doors as the music department sales surpassed their goal. New sheet music, which is presently being used, was purchased with the proceeds. An exceedingly impressive performance was given at the Christmas and Spring concerts. The highlight of the year was participation in the Region II Music Contest. Strenuous practice was necessary to prove the chorus a success. Several members of the chorus were also chosen as soloists. These soloists brought another year of the music department to an end by their participation in the Commencement exercises. Pamper the Keyboard LEFT TO RIGHT: Glenda Rueb, Joyce Schumacher, and Wanda Fis- cher are the pianists who have accompanied the vocal groups, soloists and instrumental soloists. 28
