Occasionally, however, the qualities usually found in fine music are lacking, but we must remember that this is only one stage in the development of our band. Creating a band is not a simple task. Students of various abilities and ages must be trained to perform together. The material for such a group must be selected from the grades, and coached until they are ready to become members of a musical organization. This has been the job of Mr. Askin, our director, for thirty years; Mr. Williams has assisted him recently. It is due to the engineering and planning of these men that our band has been able to obtain the reputation it holds. Once the material has been organized, the students themselves must be fond of music and willing to work. Now our structure is well under way. It is at this point that the practice comes in. Soon we find our construction near completion. Planning, cooperation, practice and patience have molded each individual brick into a building which is not only serviceable, but whose activity will be pleasing to all.
