Tilt On lit lr« 'THE Orchestra of the Manti High School has always been outstand- A ing. The musical talent developed has won high recognition, and the school has always been noted for its musical accomplishments. The Orchestra of thirty members handle their instruments well. Some students have belonged to the organization for four years. The group have contributed to assembly programs, church and com munity activities and have played for the High School operas. Each year’s concert is given by the group. We are proud of the fact that a Sousaphone has been added to the bass section this year. The instrumentation is at present closer to a well balanced orchestra than we have had for some time. We hope to use a cello another year. Selections of a difficult type have been studied and presented to the public, including overtures, marches, waltzes, etc. We hope that the orchestra of future years may continue to grow and uphold the reputation which is now ours.

Rolmi Hood PERHAPS the most pretentious musical event ever undertaken in Manti was the production of “Robin Hood ’ the delightful opera by De Koven. The school and community combined their efforts and talents to make it the biggest and best thing ever presented in our town. It will be long remembered for its sparkling music, witty dialogue, beautiful costumes, new scenery and delightful and happy chorus members. More than one hundred people were included in orchestra, chorus, and cast. CAST Glen A. Jensen . Sheriff of Nottingham Ardray Wintsch . Sir Guy of Gisborne R. P.

 I lie B«iml I 'H1S organization has developed and advanced very much in the last two years under the leadership of Easton Moffit. Mr. Moffit has increased and balanced the instrumentation of the band such that overtures and other high class music can be played effectively. The band has taken a very active part in school activities and public entertainments. During the past two summers they have given Sunday after- noon concerts on the High School lawn. They have played for holiday pro- grams and political meetings. The past two years they have played for the County Fair. Last spring the band went on a concert tour to Pleasant Grove and American Fork High Schools, where the members enjoyed themselves and acquired a very valuable experience of appearing before a strange audience. With the money earned at the County Fair and with the contribution that the city made they have bought a Sousaphone horn which is very essen- tial to any musical organization. This horn is a mark of attainment that all the band boys are proud of. The band has an enrollment at the present time of forty members. These members have been advancing in attaining a musical education. With proper instructions, sound hacking and general enthusiasm it is an earnest desire that the band will continue to grow and develop in the future. Pay© 30
