S., is the ultimate goal of every instrumentalist of the school, Whether he puffs on a tuba or trills on a flute. After spending some time learning to play his instrument, the student is invited to join the junior band-or, if he has chosen a string instrument, he may join the orchestra. Although these two groups do not make many appear- ances, they are important training for the years ahead. After some time in one of these organizations, the stude-nt's ambition is at last realized-he has finally become a member of the Red Lion High School Band. Then what a wealth of enjoyment awaits him! With all the activities of the band he is kept quite busy, for the band par- ticipates in many extra curricular events. As soon as the school term begins, all members find, to their amazement, that they are definitely out of practice as far as marching goes. So, it's tramp, tramp, tramp, along the highway as the marching band strives to perfect drill routines. After what seems years of Walking, the group settles down to rehearsing for the Night of Music. Then come detailed practices and the tearing-down of difficult parts into compre- hensible notes. After several months of hard work, during which the director is distracted almost to the point of insanity and everyone is worn to a frazzle, the concert is presented and is billed as another success for Red Lion High School. All in all, the organization has fun, seriousness and work all through the year-no one would Want to miss a bit of it. of 24 fo

All students even slightly interested in music enjoy singing in a group like this, so you may be sure that the glee club is a large group. The senior high organization is the last in a continuous line of singing groups. First is a grade choir, which occasionally furnishes music at many of our local churches. Next comes the junior high glee club, a group which sings at plays and the like. Last, but not least, is the senior high glee club, the prin- cipal singing group of our school. All these organizations participate in the annual Night of Music and may take part in the music festivals about the county. After going through the elementary stages of group singing in the grades and in junior high school, the student discovers that the senior high glee club is quite different from all the rest. The Iunior High Glee Club re hearses diligently under the di rection of Miss Spangler. cj 26 fo
