They were entered as ensemble units at Chatfleld and played Andante Cantabile and the The Serenade . OCR HIGH SCHOOL BAND Up bright and early, 8:20 in the worn, 8till students com With scowl or scorn. Off to the Band Room They trudge on forlorn; 8ome without music. Others with horns. Their seats they do take, All lined in a row; Up goes the music, And they're ready to blow. The director is ready; He raises the stick They strike up a tune Like the crack of a whip. The suslc crescendoes, They're nearing the close, For the band blew so hard That the roof almost rose. As the band leaves the room There is a hurrying scram, The practice Is ended For our high school band. Leslie Edmonds.
