MUSIC DEPARTMENT Through the music program at Red Bank Catholic, many talented students are given the opportunity to express themselves to an appreciative audience. The two musical organizations are the Glee Club, under the direction of Sister Mary Virgine and Dr. Jeno Donath, and the Band, under the direction of Mr. John Giampietro. Under the skillful guidance of our new instructor, the band had reached new heights of achievement. Whether sparking spectators at football games, marching in parades, or playing at assemblies, the band gives a creditable performance. This year Mr. Giampietro formed the Dance Band, an offspring of the regular RBC band, which provides music for school dances. Following Red Bank Catholic’s tradition, the Glee Club entertained Christmas shoppers at Steinbach’s Department Store in Red Bank. They also added to the holiday spirit by caroling through the halls of RBC during the Christmas Novena. On Sunday, December 1 6, the Glee Club and Band sponsored the annual Music Festival. The Glee Club sang “By Strauss,” “Black Is The Color of My True Love’s Hair,” and selections from Flower Drum Song, West Side Story, and Wildcat. In keeping with the season, they also presented “Star of Bethlehem,” “Adoration of the Magi,” and “Little Drummer Boy.” The school band played “White Christmas,” “Bobby Sox Suite” and “Blue Tail Fly.” The dance band presented “I Found a New Baby” and “Somebody’s Knockin’.” In addition to its other activities, this year the band also participated in our play, “The Music Man.” The finale included RBC’s band playing “Seventy-Six Trombones.” .1 A } The euphoneous voices of the senior Glee Club members ring through the foyer of Steinbach’s Department Store, Red Bank, to convey the yuletide spirit.
