Flinchbaugh, W Matthews Dance Band When the school started in the tall ot 1946, the dance band, now a year old, Was reorganized and began the long Work of building itself into a smooth Working organization. These sWingsters iirst appeared in public at the local Youth Centre Where they were Widely acclaimed. Next they appeared at Mount Rose High School for the annual press conference. This gave the group its needed advertisement, and from then on their band was made The dance band's primary function is bringing real dance music to the social parties put on by the school. It plays at all the special dances and also appears at many ot the others. The appearance of this group always insures packed crowds, for these melody makers have that something everyone Wants to hear. The jive happy students are held almost breathless as the theme song, Deep Purple, announces the starting of a very delightful evening. Students who were unable to get to parties had a chance to hear the dance band when it sponsored an assembly program some time during February. This year the students had a special treat when a former trumpet player with Sammy Kaye's Orchestra appeared With the dance band. This assembly pro- gram proved to be one of the most delightful programs during the year. Other appearances of the band were made at the Elks, York Hospital, Red Lion Business Show, and York Collegiate Institute. These engagements prove that this organization, started by students' request, has attained not only local but county-wide popularity. The fourteen members of the dance band can be justly proud of their accomplishments. .3 23 to
