Two Groups Entertain Jr. High Audiences This year the choirs of Prince George Senior and Junior High Schools lost their teacher, Ms. Brown. Ms. Brown was a major factor in the performance of the choir for several years, and her loss hurt the choir tremend- ously. This action resulted in the choirs' inability to par- ticipate with the band in the Pops Concert. The choir did sing for school assemblies. Ms. Brown was eventually replaced, but her work will be remembered. The majorettes delighted several audiences with their performances this year. Spon- sored by Mrs. Pearce and led by Head Majorette Terry Oakley, the majorettes made several impressive appear- ances. First came the half- time show for the football games, where they received a warm welcome. Next, the long hours of preparation showed when the girls unleased an exceptional performance in the Pops Concert. They also strutted at several assemblies for the student body.

Players Pranoe Plod Through Full Schedule 1974, the year of shortages, brought forth a shortage of band members, also. The band was reduced slightly in size, but not in sound. They still managed to impress a lot of people. Performances started with a halftime show at the Waverly football game. The show featured several popular tunes and a majorette routine. Next came auditions for the Regional Band, Rules and re- gulations pitted eighth and ninth graders against seniors in competition for the two regional bands. Prince George had a surprising number of people make the bands. The concert was held February 3. Later in the spring came the Pops Concert and the Spring Concert. These were the two best concerts given by the band. The Pops Concert was everybody's favorite because it featured popular songs. The Spring Concert brought much acclaim from people of other counties.
