String instruments blend in harmo- ny with woodwinds as the maestro conducts famous classical music. His arms move faster as he brings the mu- sic to its grand finale and then turns and bows, acknowledging the applause. He is obviously proud of his orchestra. This scene is the annual spring con- cert, the maestro is Mr. Watson; and the orchestra is R. A. Long ' s. Not only does the orchestra give music and en- joyment to the school, but it serves the school. Participating in the senior play, the Christmas Assembly, and a spring assembly are only a few of their varied activities. They also play for commu- nity clubs, and partake in the annual music meet with the other music groups of R. A. Long. The high point of the year is the spring concert reveal- ing many long hours spent practicing and working for perfection. Besides learning to play their instru- ments with the group, members are often called upon to perform individ- ually. Diligent practice precedes concert.
