keep musicians busy The music season started the week before school at band camp on Blackman Lake. The band spent the week marching and conditioning for the coming season. The marching band played for football games in the fall and was in public parades. In the late fall, the marching band was transformed into the concert band. The concert band won a superior rating at the state contest at Snider High School. They per- formed at assemblies and put on the winter and spring con- certs. The stage band, a select group of 20 musicians, played at area dances and dinners. The new Swing Choir, composed of members from Con- cert Choir and Glee Club, performed more difficult music than the other groups. They teamed up with the stage band for a concert in the spring. Concert Choir, which received an excellent rating at the state contest, gave concerts at area churches and also at school assemblies. Girls ' Glee Club gave concerts at the Lutheran Old People ' s Home and at other places in this area.
