BAND The band project was started soon after school began. The Project wa. under the able direction of Mr. Keller of Champaign. The high schoo! Worked in collaboration with the grade school with about forty-three Students tal. ing lessons. Since most of the studens were beginners, this Year has beer devoted principally to individual lessons. Next year we hope to put all pieces together and actually have a band. ithe Two more advanced students, Charles Stoutenborough and John Gray, were entered in the State Musical Contest held March 29, 1947, at Charles. ton, Charles was awarded second place on his saxaphone solo while John was awarded third on a clarinet solo. Next year we hope to have more contestant- This year at least half of the cost of the lesson was paid by the high school board. The parents of the students paid fifty cents a lesson. In thi- manner it was possible for students to receive band instruction. Additix onal funds were donated by the high school, the P. T. A., and the local Lions Clu! The organization was also helped out by a cake walk and bingo party held at the high school for the benefit of the band. Mr. Jack Coombes and Mr. Joe Beardon, bo th of Decatur, helped out during the illness of Mr. Keller. | With a band to back us, school spirit should reach a new high. What is more invigorating than a snappy march? Don’t be discouraged by the fact that you have seen little of the band this year. Eve ry member has worked hard and their efforts have not been in vain. Listen for us next year. rage Twenty -olx
