Milli IEUSSYTM? PAGE 46 THE MORALE BOOSTERS Under the direction of Mr. Firth, assisted by section directors, Mr. Cella, wood winds, and Mr. Ramsdell, percussion, the band has been steadily improving and has a membership of approximately one hundred students. This year for the first time the band has had four regularly scheduled periods each week. In the fall a tag day was held in order to raise money for the new Sanford High School Band raincoats. The band paraded for an hour in the morning, and a great number of tags were sold in the course of the day. The band participated in the Armistice Day parade, traveled to tvvo out of town football games, and attended all the home games, displaying fine appearance and performance. In the fall, when weather permitted, the band marched and drilled under the leadership of Mr. George Simpson and his assistants, and since has displayed its S drill formation representing Sanford. At the Thornton game, the band proudly made its first appearance in the new gray raincoats designed with a red arm insignia and gold braid. The hand boostefs have made it possible for the band to participate in the festivals and school activities, and deserve hearty thanks for their cooperation. The band's first concert, presented on February II, was highly satisfactory. The march, lNashington Post by Sousa, was the opening number of the program. A descriptive nov- elty, At The Minstrel Show , was a featured specialty number, with jane Belleau and Rheal Normand accompanying the hand in a soft shoe dance. The interlocutor, Harold Patrick, with the end men, Sambo, Paul Bergerong and Charcoal, Ralph Travis, partici- pated in the number. The band's interpretation of Poet and Peasant was the high spot of the concert for many in the audience. Concluding the program, the band played the National Anthem. Soloists on the program were Albert Garon playing a cornet solo, Cliftonian Polka by VVilliamsg Paul Flagg playing a clarinet solo, Shower of Gold by Boulin, and Glendine Poole, another clarinet solo, First Movement from Concerto in G Minor by Bennett. The soloists were accompanied by Shirley Taylor and Dorothy Perkins. At the festivals last year, held at Brunswick, Maine, and Hampton Beach, New Hamp- shire, the S. H. S. band received very high ratings from the otiicial judges. This year the NVestern Maine Festival is scheduled to be held at Auburn, and the New England Festival will be held at Old Orchard Beach. The musicians who were chosen to represent the S. H. S. band at the All New England Festival to be held at VVellesley, Massachusetts, March 30 to April 2, were Roland Horne, Paul Flagg and Glendine Poole.
