ITHHHH M. H. S. BAND The M. II. S. Band. just three years old, under the direction of Mr. XY. D. llatlies, is experiencing its most successful season to date. Starting three years ago with thirty-six members. this band has grown into a line marching band of seventy-two playing members and four twirlers. This band was placed on the field during football season, giving a large variety of drills and designs while filling the stadium with music. K From this band a concert band of approximately fifty members was selected through an examination and trained for summer contest and concert work. At the State Contest held at Johnson City, April eighteenth and nineteenth, the Bl. H. S. Rand made a superior showing, winning over half of all first divi- sions given. Ratings are as follows: Billy Peoples.I.: E. A. Poe, Jr., I.: Yaughtie Piercy, I.: Louis Bean, I.: Robert Gilbert, I.: Hallene Bales, I.: a sextet includ- ing Rebecca Sue Riggs, Vaughtie Piercy, Peggy Nlialter. Billy Peoples, Louis llean, Elmo Ailshie, I.: a quintet composed of Rebecca Sue Riggs. Mildred Gilbert. Robert Gilbert, Peggy XValter, Mary Frances Oney, Il.: Harold Miller. Ill.: Anna Ray Gilmore, IV.: and the band getting a rating of II. which was highest of all class B bands represented. Those with a rating of l. will attend the National Contest in XVest Palm lieach. Florida. This year the ll. H. S. liand, which is eligible to attend the National Con- test. ltas chosen instead to play at the XYorld's. Fair in New York. VX-Ie think our band should be the otiicial band, not only for our High Sc-hool. but also for the state of Tennessee.
