'Sh 1 L ORCHESTRA MIXED ENSEMBLE DISCIPLES OF DISCIPLINED DECIBELS We have heard the orchestra many times this year at class plays and assemblies, and are looking forward to seeing them once again on Commencement Night. North Alle- gheny had the pleasure of having the Western District Orchestra meet at the School on Feb- ruary 9, 10 and ll, under the direction of Mr. Finnell. There were students representing schools. Over night accommodations for these students were made at the homes of the stu- dents of North Allegheny. The two matinees and two evening performances were enjoyed by all. The vocal section of our music depart- ment is made up of several ensembles, under the direction of Miss Marilyn Werner. Miss Werner has worked especially hard with the Senior High Chorus, which has given several recitals in our assembly programs. Our Senior High Band, directed by Mr. Robert Testa, has been one of the highlights of the past year. Although the band did not march at any foot- ball games, we have had many opportunities to see them perform at many assemblies in the auditorium and pep meetings. The music de- partment, as a whole, has done exceedingly well the past two years.
