BAND Our band though small has. we believe, caught the spark and understanding of playing instruments as a group. We lack many players such as clarinets, flute, oboe and trumpets. The latter depends on the number of clarinets in a band. For the third year. our music organizations are preparing to attend the Madison-Oneida League Festival. Members of the Band Are: Trumpets: David Williams, Itola Brockway, Beverly Dungey, Ella Foster. Clarinets: Granton Jewett, Gene Thurston, Roy Roher, Dawn Tuttle, Evelyn White. Saxophone: Dayton Smith. Sousaphone: Joseph Splain. Baritone: Claude Roher. Trombone Shirley Carpenter, Harold Thurston. French Horn: Joanna Marshall. Drums: Richard Greenfield, Robert Shaver. As a sideline, so to speak. a brass quartet was organized. In such a group, the players must be more proficient as well as independent, to achieve unity and a musicianly result. They cannot wait for help from their neighbor, but they them- selves must execute their parts. The members of this group are: lst Cornet: David Williams, 2nd Trumpet: Ella Foster. French Horn: Joanna Marshall, Trombone: Shirley Carpenter. ORCHESTRA The marjority of the Orchestra members are new this year, but we are slowly progressing. The orchestra consists of: Trumpets: David Williams, Etola Brockway, Beverly Dungey. Clarinetsz Gene Thurston. Roy Roher. Bass: Joseph Splain. Violins: Clinton Thurston, Alma Foster, Harold Richmond. Trombone: Harold Thurston. Cello: Calvin Mosher. French' Horn: Joanna Marshall. Drums: Richard Greenfield. The orchestra. also participated in the Parent-Teachers' Meeting and Music Festival. GIRLS' CHORUS Having difficulty in finding time for all the girls' interested in choral work to assemble, we have had a small girls' chorus this year. We are twenty strong and sing songs in two parts. oi-'ff 27
