Under the direction of Paul H. Andree, ap- proximately 29 novice musicians and twirlers make up the beginners band. Struggling to learn to play a clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and flute in a few short months, wondering what augmented and diminished sevenths could possi- bly beg taking a final test for promotion, besides going to endless rehearsals-- these are just a few of the trials of a music student.

' 1 . r BAND AT STATE FAIR Otis can well be proud of its excellent band. Probably no other group in school works any harder or longer hours. The band this year performed some outstanding marching formations under the direction of Paul H. Andree, Principal and band director. The band is gaining a reputation for playing only the best of music which will mean much to the cultural develop ent of the students, and the com unity. The band makes an annual trip to the State Fair at Hutchinson, to the district and league festivals at Hays and La Crosse where they received high ratings.
