The Band and the Chorus Contribute Muoh to the School Year North Augusta's growing music department is a living tribute to the many people who have worked so hard on it. The band, composed of 40 members who have fine instruments and uniforms, has come a long way from the first N. A. band-of ll members. Not only has the group developed as a well-drilled marching unit, but also great progress is evident in its proficiency as a concert band. The chorus has been re-established this year by Mrs. Carolyn Cox, who has done a beautiful job with the students. The chorus has contributed much to the school year by participating in many chapel programs and commencement exercises. Although it is relatively new, the music department is becoming well-known in the state for its excellence.
