U97 ILLUIE SSTIQIE ' 49 SWING BAND '22 The swing band was organized five years ago, and has had its ups and downs as any organization of its kinds might expect. It has been able to give a good account of itself, usually in the way of furnishing music for Lodge dinners, Club dinners, American Legion dances, and for the school class plays. lt is to be noted that work in the swing bank usually results in improved performance in the concert by those members working in both. This is due in large part to the exacting demands of the rhythm structure of modern swing music. This year the swing band has made only one appearance, but we hope you will see more of it in the future. First Row, left to right-Doris Benner, Marilyn Brosman, Nancy Stricklett, Lisbeth Clark. Second Row-Mid Carper, Mark Ennis, Mr, Linn, Katie Hampton. MAJ ORETTES This season we were honored by having two outstanding girls, Sharon Fasig and Margaret Doles, to lead our band in parades and to twirl at our basketball games. Although they haven't performed too much at the games, we are sure that they will in the future. Good luck, girls, and keep up the good work. Left to ,Right-Sharon Fasig, Margaret Doles. BAND In September the band was organized under an entirely new set up. The band now includes students of the high school and the seventh and eighth grades. Mr. Elza Linn has forty members under his direction in the organization. The main purpose of the band is to promote interest in music and to provide an opportunity for development for those whose major interest it may be. Among our many activities of the year is to provide music for football and basketball games and for other community events. One of our appearances out of town was at the Newton football game. The Spring Festival at Casey is perhaps the most important event participated in by the band each year. Here an outstanding director is employed and an intense effort expanded on a program of worthwhile music which the public has an oppor- tunity to enjoy.
