HERE COMES THE BAND! Here comes the band! were the familiar words heard as the band came out onto the field at the home football games. With their 48 marching pieces, they made quite a showing this year. The band's Evening of Music was given again this year in March. Other school functions for which the band played were their own as- sembly program, other assemblies, for which they often played a spe- cial number, Open House, the May Pageant, and Commencement. Patients in the Cold Springs Road Veterans' Hospital and Billing's Hospital were entertained by the band. ln order to create an incentive for younger school children to study instruments, the band members played at several neighborhood grade schools. Among some of their featured numbers were Repartee by David Bennett, with Barbara Weesner as piano soloist, and Andante Cantabile by Beethoven. From the first assembly program to Commencement, the boys and girls in the Howe band served the school to the best of their abiilty and worked to keep up Howe's reputation for good musicianship.
