This group was composed largely of freshmen and sophomores who lacked the experience necessary for a chair in the A band. Some of the members, how- ever, were in this division because their particular section in the advanced band was complete. The B band played at approximately half of the home basket- ball games and for several of the football games. The weather interfered with some of the grOup's scheduled activities and caused cancellation of plans. Marching in the Christmas parade sponsored by the Mission Chamber of Commerce was one such occasion. Play- ing for pep assemblies was a duty that was alternated with the advanced band. Officers of this group were Phil Rankin, president, Lee Iordan, vice-president, Lo- retta Gray, secretary, and Larry Pering, treasurer. Mr. Harold E. George, instrumental music instructor, di- rected this group.

TO PERSONS of little or no talent, fingering musty music, tuning stubborn instruments, and practicing long hours to accomplish perfection, would seem a tedious task. Nevertheless, the fifty-five members of the orches- tra proved themselves worthy of being called musicians and made Shawnee-Mission proud of them. Under the direction of Harold E, George, the group gave Christmas and spring concerts and played in exchange assemblies. The Cavalcade, always an out- standing event, was made even more successful by the orchestras participation, Music appreciation in the dis- trict's grade schools was promoted by the orchestras many performances in the schools.
