Several concerts a year test the excellence of our music department. Music and Art Red Bank’s musical interludes are provided by an extensive and spirited department, consisting of the various choirs, the Choralettes, and the Band. Many organizations in the area, as well as the school, have been entertained by the Choir and Choralettes. Our highly-praised Band continued to give enthusiastic back- ing to the itinerary of football games and pep rallies. Residents of Red Bank had the opportunity to hear, them in various parades and concerts this year. Through skill and appreciation of the arts and crafts, Red Bank’s art students strive to satisfy their creative drive. A study of the developments of art from primi- tive to modern times is included in the year’s work. Exhibits in New York art museums served as a back- ground for the art students to develop tastes and judge- ment in various fields. The Art Department also sponsored an exhibition of different media of art, selected from the Monmouth County Art Show and placed in the library for the benefit of all Red Bank students and faculty. 2»
