CBaJ (} (ndt r I )iwtwn Performing at all the home football games was the marching band consisting of 28 members. Mr. Larry Weber checks the arrangement of Hey Jude prior to a chorus session. Mr. Weber being new to N. H. S. this year, directed both the instrumental and vocal programs for the school district. Mr. Weber has a bachelor of science degree from Illinois State University. Through Mr. Weber's efforts, the band and chorus members did well in the concerts presented locally as well as in their participation in the IHSA contests. For his contribution to the N. H. S. music program, Mr. Weber might be compared to Francis Scott Key who gave us our national anthem. Adding some color and flare to the marching band was the flag and rifle girl drill team.
