Orchestra Brings Music Pleasure To Members BAND AND ORCHESTRA Forward march! Left, right, left .... The MCHS marching band practices very hard and spends many hours planning and perfecting programs and music selections. During the fall of the year, the band partici- pates in the half time programs at MCHS home foot- ball games and travels to Ann Arbor to represent MC- HS at the University of Michigan Band Day. They play with hundreds of other student musicians during the football game half time. This year the members sold Sanders candy and organized a MCHS Band Tag Day to help finance the band's annual summer music camp. The MCHS orchestra presents concerts, plays in school assemblies, and represents MCHS at various state wide music festivals. Wind players from the band and string players who pass an audition compose the orchestra. Many hours are spent practicing musical selections and making musical arrangements for various programs. One of the highlights of the year was the oper- etta, Oklahoma!. Orchestra members ioined forces with members of the Mount Clemens Symphony Orchestra to play the popular Rodgers and Hammer- stein score. -ei W, ,, I t . is 3 Every morning, first hour finds members of the orchestra dili- gently rehearsing.

A Capella Choir Put On Musical, Oklahoma! VOCAL MUSIC All you need is a song. This is the motto of the MCHS Vocal Music Department. The A'Cappella Choir, the Mixed Chorus, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs find singing a delightful activity which requires very little effort. The Mixed Chorus, which consists mostly of ninth grade girls and boys, supplies the basic background for those students interested in group singing. Both Glee Clubs offer the students opportunities to develop their own style of singing. They present the annual Thanksgiving assembly and give their as- sistance in other school programs. Also, the Macomb and Washington Junior High Schools have been entertained by the Glee Clubs. Members of the A'Cappella Choir are chosen on a tryvout basis. This advanced singing group par- ticipates in many school assemblies and programs. Each year they enter the Vocal Music Festival and they are often invited to sing at various club lunch- eons in Mount Clemens. The entire music department presents an oper- etta in March. This year's musical was Oklahoma!, the Broadway hit by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Just to see what riding in a surrey with the fringe was like prompted Peggy Clark, Floria Greene and Pat Losch, members of the Okla-homo cast, to climb in and sit down. 1 . A , .
