That is a typical two minutes before band rehearsal. Of all the musical organizations at NPA, girls' chorus, octets, quartets and trios, per- haps the two best known are the choir and the band. The choir, besides performing for the church service every Sabbath, also has numer- ous occasions for leaving the campus to give concerts at other academies and churches Within our conference. lt is because of such activities that the NPA choir is fairly well known around the Southern California circle of Seventh-day Adventists. Not quite as often as the choir, the band has opportunity to give concerts at the academy: once in a while, it too travels abroad. On these trips outside, the band sometimes gives a secular concert with rousing marches and overturesg at other times, a sacred concert, including the music of Bach, Mendelssohn, or other great composers.

Religious activities are varied. Whether it be a quiet soul-searching moment in the chapel during the Week of prayer, a half hour spent in discus- sion of an interesting Sabbath School lesson, a day Ingathering in the com- munity, a sundown hour spent in M.V. meeting, or a Sabbath afternoon spent in singing for appreciative senior citi- zens-no matter what the occasion-it results in a blessing for each individual participating. h ' 'E E ,,,,..Qf-L 4 t . 11.5, ,ii W 2 , A ,iv 4 U' L N A . , t itll if at . ll kiwi?
