Musical Activities The year 1933-34 saw great advancement in the music art at Norwin, although none of the school's musical groups were entered in County Forensic League contests. These groups which so Well upheld Nor- win's standard of music were the Band, the Orchestra, the Girls Lyric Club, the Boys Glee Club, and the newly-formed A Cappella Chorus. The band played at all the football and bas- ketball games, appeared at chapel programs, took part in many civic parades and celebra- tions, and topped off the year with the annual concert on March 2. Among the many beautiful selections played at this concert, one stood out most-Jimmie Weaver's own composition, Norwin March , dedicated to the students of our alma mater. The band held practice each Monday night throughout the year and will continue to prac- tice during the summer. The Norwin orchestra, directed by Mrf Sample, was late in getting organized this year but nevertheless soon made up for its tardiness by its excellent performance at the concerts given March 23 and April 27. At these concerts also appeared the Boys Glee Club, largest in the schools' history, the Girls Lyric Club, attired in white, the massive combination of both clubs, Virginia Irwin, violinist, and the newly organized A Cappella Chorus, dressed in blue and gold robes. The A Capella Chorus was given most rec- ognition of any musical organization this year when Mr. Claude Rosenberry, Director of Public School Music of the State Department of Public Instruction, made arrangements for this group to appear on a coast-to-coast radio broadcast Sunday, April 8, as Pennsylvania's representative to the National Music Super- visors' Conference. eight
