The Music Department FOR real DEMOCRACY,', look to the Music, be it BAND-CI-IOIR-ORCHES TRA, for here the many individual voices and personalities learn to blend and har- monize, and to speak as ONE. With an enrollment of over 400, the Music Department reaches a large percent- age of students in active participation, and then strives to serve our school in many various ways. The Band, well uniformed, has served school and community with excellent music and clever maneuvers on the football Held, basketball Hoor, in city parades and concerts. It rates as one of the outstanding bands in the Middle West. The Choir this year reached its peak of performance in the presentation of the Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera, UH. M. S. Pinaforef' which proved a real success. The opera, a Christmas as- sembly, and numerous program calls in the community have kept the Choir busy indeed. The Orchestra, too, has had its series of concerts and programs, and has so steadily ad- vanced in its style and technique that now we look with pride at this group of musi- cians. Then, the ALL GIRL ORCHESTRA and BOYS' GLEE CLUB, though meeting only forty-five minutes each week, have a place in the activities of the department. As an innovation, five students have added interest to their musical experiences in the study of the new electric organ purchased by our School Board this year. The RED DEVIL SWINGSTERS, which met twice a week, were also called upon to give several outside programs. So, from pipe-organ to piccolo May we serve our school wherever we go! THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
