A Junior Band, which is composed of M7 members, was organized. These players will some day augment the concert band. The year's activities began with the Marching Band accepting an invitation to participate in the NBand Dayn program at Western Michigan College. We did not enter the marching band contest in Benton Harbor because we were not informed in time. As a result, we went as observers only. The Marching Band took part in the annual Halloween Parades at Three Oaks, Sawyer, and New Troy. It was next seen making formations at the basketball games. Some of the themes were: NA Christmas pageant 3 HA Program on Safetyng and WA Pro- gram on Peacen. This year the Marching Band introduced colored cap lights. The Concert Band, Glee Club, and nBe-Bopsn, made their first appearance at the Fall Festival. The program consisted of Marches, Classical and Popular music. Their next appearance was in the Christmas Concert, which was very successful. program included the Baton Twirlers, and also marked the first public appear- of the Junior Band. Some of the highlights of this program were: a Piano by Janice Saurbierg a vocal solo by Kay Skinner: novelty numbers by the band, as NEh, Cumparin and NDragnetn with Ingvar Franzon as the narrator, and other known classical numbers and marches. This ance solo such well The Solo and Ensemble contest was held at Kalamazoo in Western Michigan College on Jan. 31. The following received a second place rating: Ann Sommers- clarinetg Vic Baney-drums: Janice Saurbier and Ann Sommers-clarinet duet: Dolores Narregan and Judy Noggle-cornet dust. The S.W.M.B.O.A. Band contest will be held at Wayland, Michigan, Feb. 26. The band is working very hard to overcome their weakness in sight-reading, as this is an important factor in judging the context. We hope to obtain a good rating. The Glee Club will participate in the Vocal Festival, April 21, to be held at St. Joe. Some of the remaining activities for the Music Department are: a Spring Concertg a Memorial Day Paradeg and also the possibility of an Operetta. The Band Boosters Club was reorganized and has done much to support the band. They raised funds with various activities such as: a spaghetti dinner: bake sales, movies: etc. bThis year the school bought the band new music stands, an EbBass and chair, an E Alto Horn, a tuning bar, and also painted the bass drum and drum heads.
