Places To G o - Choir 30 Klausch Serves West, Miss Wis. Larry Klausch first became involved in music when he started taking piano lessons in the fifth grade. When he began high school he learned how to play the saxophone and accompanied the choirs on the piano. “| was heavily involved with music”, explained Klausch. Mr. Klausch went to college at the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. In college he learned to play all the band instruments. He received his degree in teaching instrumental and vocal mu- sic. In 1964 Mr. Klausch began teaching at West. Soon after he was asked to direct the pit orchestra in the Miss Wisconsin Pageant. Two years later he became the Director-Producer and two years after that he became the Executive Director or Head Administrator. As the Executive Director, Mr. Klausch brings together the representatives of the city pageants and organizes them into the state pageant which is held in the Civic Auditorium. In 1983, the pageant received an award for being one of the top pageants in our country. The 1983 pageant commemorated the 20th anniversary of the state pageant being held in Osh- kosh. ‘Receiving this award is a very high honor!’’ Mr. Klausch noted. Working with the pageant is ‘a unique exp erience. You meet a lot of new people,’’ commented Mr. Klausch. Mr. Klausch stated that he was glad that the pageant deals with education. It makes available the largest educational scholarship for women. Mr. Klausch is the church organist and directs his church choir. He also plays in a dance band. “| don’t enjoy just one part of music. | enjoy all of it,’ concluded Mr. Klausch. CHORALE: BOTTOM ROW: P. Nitz, R. Berndt, A. Zangle, M. Barroso, J. Elsinger, Schmidt.

i ‘4 Schwebke Starts Youth 5ymph ony When Kris Schwebke, the orchestra di- rector, was five years old, he was first ex- posed to musicianship as his older brother and sister began to take piano lessons. At the age of six, he began to take piano lessons, and added violin to his repertoire in third garde. He started taking private lessons in sixth grade. Kris Schwebke planned on having an English major when he entered the Univer- stiy of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, but changed to a music major during his college education. While Mr. Schwebke enjoys racquetball, his big interest this year is the newly de- veloped Oshkosh Yough Symphony. ‘'l really wanted something like this started in town because | wanted the good stu- dent musician to have an outlet for their talent,’’ Mr. Schwebke explained. The members of the Oshkosh Youth Symphony are chosen by audition, and are sixth grade through college.
