It's a pleasure to watch you and not have to write anything''-James Noble. One of the best bands I've ever seen, I'm sure''-Maurice Shadley. Tf this band would lift its knees higher, it could compare to Ohio State University Band''- Don Hanna These comments were expressed at the marching Contest at Speedway, Indiana, in October when the band won a first division, lacking only one point having a perfect score. Not only does the band march at contests, but they perform at home basketball games. At the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Hanover College this year, the band won 75 first division medals. Moving from a BB class up to a B class, and into tougher competition, the band received a first at the Concert Contest at Franklin. After participating and winning all contests, a two-day tour to Franklin and Noblesville came as a partial reward. Along the way the band played for several schools, stayed over- night at Noblesville. In April they attended the annual Southern Indiana Band Festival, this year held at Browns- town, where 450 band students from New Albany, Mitchell, Brownstown, Seymour, Bedford, and Salem combined to form one large band under the direction of such noted conductors and musical celebrities as Harold Walters, Karl King, David Bennett, and Paul Yoder, who have been selected to d irect at one time or another in the three years of the festival. The band has won the marching contest at the State Lions' Convention, was invited to the Kentucky State Band Clinic, where they introduced a new number by Harold Walters, has been requested by several high schools to per- form at school convocations, has been invited to perform at Butler, DePauw and Indiana Universities. Mr. Vaught, the director, is one of the main reasnns that the SHS Band has been ranked in the first division for the past several years. An I.U. graduate, with an M.A. fromI.S.T.C. he came to S.H.S. six years ago, and has led our band to a long string of first awards. We are proud of George Vaught, who has developed our band into the fastest rising band in the state of Indiana. ' a4
