Spring Concert Following tradition, the Spring Concert was dedicated to the graduating seniors. Student directors are another tradition of the Spring Concert. In keeping with this. Max Guthrie conducted the Concert Band in a Sousa march entitled “Billboard.” Wally Sand-hagen also took a turn at conducting. The vocal music department took over the middle part of the concert, singing songs from serious chamber music to happy-go-lucky show tunes. The concert ended with charts played by the Jazz Band. To all who participated and to those who came to listen, the Spring Concert was a great success and a fine tribute to the seniors of 1970. Top: Mr. “V and the Stage Band.
