With a complete string choir and a full complement of woodwind, brass, and percussion, the orchestra has been able to study and perform some of the best music of the old masters as well as of the contempo- rary composers. Rehearsals were held twice a week and much was accomplished in technique and musicianship. The highlights of the year's activities were the performances at the fall and spring con- certs, the district contest, and the playing of the processional for graduation services. The orchestra has much to offer to those interested in fine instrumental music. Page 23

Arthur Schrepel One of our oldest and most active organiza- tions is the band Looking back, we find that since its organization twenty-four years ago the band has grown both in size and in musical ability. In the past year the band had a very full schedule. They attended the Humboldt and Pawnee County fairs, football games, the dis- trict music contest, parades, and gave their annual fall and spring concerts. An outstanding event of the year was the trip the band made to Lincoln for the University Band Day at the Oklahoma-Nebraska game. The band was one of 65 bands which paraded through down-town Lincoln and were rated as they passed the reviewing stand. Then they all took part in the state-wide mass band formation in The University of Nebraska Me- morial Stadium. The small instrumental groups were again organized, and made a good showing at the district contest held at Auburn. Page 22

Practices became serious business immedi- ately, for the first appearance of the choir at the Pawnee County Fair necessitated hard work. The work of a choir is never finished for, in addition to striving for better tone qual- ity and musicianship, there is always another program date rapidly approaching. There were assembly programs during the year and then that highlight of the Yuletide season, the annual Christmas Vesper Service. The District Music Contest presented its usual challenge to the choir and provoked many hours of intensified practice. The year was culminated by the traditional production of an operetta. Not only does the choir try to achieve many musical effects, but it is also constantly striving for good citizenship. Every member must abide by the rules set up by the group to remain in choir. In this way the choir has become a hard working group and a builder of democ- racy. Page 24
