On August 4, Viking instrumentalists auditioned for the lVlarching Band. Selected by lVlr. Gish, 103 students rehearsed drill procedures and musical rou- tines for the remainder of the summer. Their first performance, during half-time at the opening Chiefs' game, preceded six district stadium performances and marching in the American Royal parade. ln Oc- tober, the musicians travelled to KU for Band Day. At the marching season's end, the concert group formulated. Seventy-five comprised the concert band while the remaining members united their tal- ents by participating in the symphonic decision. Within the concert group, many ensembles form- ed including the combined brass and woodwind choirs. A stage band of 24, consisting of concert and symphonic members, played at special assemblies. Also the concert section supplied the Pep Band with instrumentalists. Forty-five bandsmen raised Viking cheer and enthusiasm in early morning pep rallies, in Pep Club, and throughout basketball games. After successfully interpreting lncantation and Dance in a winter program, the Concert Band accepts audience applause with relief and pride.
