Capaciiy Crowds filled the auditorium three nights to attend the lVlusic Department's annual fall con- cert, in which every music student, over seven hundred in all, took part. Dedication of the newly purchased Hammond electric organ gave this year's concert special significance. Mr. Love played a group of spectacular selections, includ- ing a composition of his own, to show what the organ can do. Other highlights of the program were jack Ringstad's baritone solo of The Fleag the senior orchestra in the modern music number. Mefropo'lisg the senior band in a patriotic and military medley, with drum majors A1 Hope, Ted La Forge and Gene Flamboe twirling lighted batonsg and the Hinale, combined choruses and instruments in Fletcher's Song of Victory. For the concert finale, The Song of Victory fsee photo abovel, soul-stirring effect wlas pro- duced by adlding to the full-stage chorus, sections of singers in the wings and at the back of the auditorium in the balcony and downstairs, the directors, Mr. Frenzel, Mr. Picken, and Mr. Fenby, working in perfect co-ordination with Mr. Love, who led from the podium. With the -concert proceeds, the department has been able to pay back into the general fund all but three hundred dollars of the two thousand Photos by Hughes which the organ cost and which, it seems certain, will be completely cleared by next spring. Redf0rd's seventy-four-piece band, one of the three R.O.T.C. marching bands in the city, again led the Navy Day and Armistice Day parades downtown and ofhciated at all the school football games, including the Cooley game at U. of D. stadium. The novelty orchestra, traditional at Redford, kept its unbeaten record of serving at all school dlances, for the eighth year. A smooth new dinner orchestra, originated by Mr. Frenzel, enter- tained at the Drama Council banquet, for the Cosmopolitan Women's Club, and at the Detroit Golf Club's Christmas party. In the vocal division, the select mixed chorus did Redford proud by singing for the Kiwanis Club at the Statler Hotel, at a dinner dance in the Crystal ballroom of the Masonic Temple, and numerous other local gatherings. Let us not forget the juniors. They not only per- form as well trained units, but from the ranks of the junior orchestra, band, and choruses come the dependable new members who are constantly moving up to keep Redford's senior groups among the top-flight high school musicians of Detroit.
