Now in 1929 we have increased this number to sixty-five in the first band and twenty-three in the beginners, band. At this time next year we expect to have one hundred girls belonging. Last May we again won first place in Minnesota in the Junior High School Band Contest. Our greatest honor came last July when we played before a general assembly of the National Education Association at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Two of our former members, Ione Larson and Audrey Walstrom, are now playing in professional orchestras. Many others are looking forward to the time when they can play for profit as well as pleasure. Mrs. Florence Harper is the director. Thirty

Its value to the individual is material, social, and cultural. Often a skilled orchestra or band player adopts music as a profession, and thus it becomes a means of livelihood. Furthermore, music, the most universal of the arts, is of great cultural value in broadening and enriching one,s life. The more immediate objectives in school music are: the ability to read music perfectly at sight, the development of the power of disciplining one's self, the ability of the individuals of a group to function as a unit, and the appreciation of good music. It made its initial public appearance in November of this school year when a selected number from the group rendered the accompaniment to the Operetta. Fol- De-Rol. Since then the organization has played for a number of auditorium pro- grams and for the class play and the Dramatic Club play. Twenty-Nine

Each must learn the rudiments of her instrument as well as its proper care and be able to do with it the things that she has already learned to do with her voice. Indirectly the mind is given valuable training. Discipline and co-operation are developed, and an opportunity is afforded for the right use of leisure time. Being a member of the beginners, band gives the pupil a deeper pride and loyalty toward her school. The early part of our time is spent in learning to read the music for the various instruments and to transpose to higher or lower keys the music which we have. We progress gradually from simple familiar tunes to more difficult music written for three parts and finally to regular band music from regular band books. Toward the end of the semester we are able to play several selections as a part of an auditorium program. The beginners, band of the first semester was composed of twenty-seven mem- bers all of whom entered the first band at the end of the semester some occupying rather important chairs. Thirty-One
