REGIMENTAL BAND The first note of music played by the Male Band was sounded in 1919 when Mr. Carpenter succeeded in procuring a com- plete set of instruments from the War Department. Until February, 1931, E. l. Watowa and A. L. lvlarzian, assisted by a R.O.T.C. Sergeant Instructor, taught and con- ducted the band and orchestra, bringing both to a high state of proficiency ln 1931 Lynn Thayer was employed to direct the instru- mental department. Today the following classes are offered: concert orchestra, marching and concert bands lwith sectional rehearsalsl, intermediate and advanced wind instruments, string classes, percussion ensembles, and a class for beginners. Both band and orchestra have made outstanding accomplish- ments in state and national contests. ln 1938 the band won First Division in the National Regional Contest, the high- est rating a high school band may receive in this country. ln 1939 the Band Association , consisting of the Dads and Mothers of the boys taking music, made it possible through their personal initiative for the Band to accept an invitation by Olin Downes to appear for marching and concert programs at the New York World's Fair. Today the 341 enrollments in the department are using the most complete music department in the state. There is a central hall 50 by 60 feet, acoustically treated, practice rooms on the first floor, specially arranged instrument rooms, a music library, director's office, and conveniently located lockers for the first band, The department was so designed that evening practices or pgograms may be held without opening the rest of the building. Broadcasts may be made from the central band hall. l. E. TURNER.
