Music Department • • • The band and chorus began another successful year under the leadership of Mr. Vance, who took over the vocal de- partment formerly directed by Mrs. Lu- cille McGuinness. Although there are no district, sectional, or state contests this year, or for the dura- tion, Tremont came through with flying colors last year. The grade and high school band won first in the district contest at Galesburg and was awarded second in the sectional at Peoria. The A Cappella Choir received one of the greatest honors ever bestowed upon Tremont, or any school of its size, by winning first, not only in the district and sectional contests — but, also in the state. This year the band includes twelve stu- dents from grade school and thirty-three from high school. Though several of last year’s members were lost by graduation, there are several members who made their debut this year. As there were no contests to prepare for the band spent more time on marches and maneuvers for the basketball games. Pa- triotic demonstrations, which were done very well, drew much comment and ap- plause. We notice that after being the first to march last year at the games Tre- mont gave ideas to other schools, as many in the surrounding territory now have ba- ton twirling exhibitions and other demon- strations at the half and between games. The band has made very good use of the cymbals presented to them by the class of 1942. Other new instruments belonging to the school are: An oboe, a sousaphone, three trombones, tympani, and bells val- ued at approximately seven hundred dol- lars. The vocal department is made up of an A Cappela choir, an ocetette, and a fresh- man chorus. In the A Cappella choir are forty-four voices from all classes. Previous to this year only juniors and seniors were allowed to make up this organization but because so many, especially tenors and basses, graduated, the opportunity of singing in the choir was opened to all stu- dents interested. Even though the choir was shattered by the graduation of many seniors last spring, this year all members are co-operating to make champions when we again have con- tests. The octette consists of Lark Unsicker and Marge Parkhurst, sopranos; Virginia Schwinn and Joan Blumenschein, altos; Paul Koch and Ernie Aberle, tenors; and Jerry Parks and Dick Van Horn, basses. The freshman choir was formed by com- bining the freshman girls’ chorus and the freshman boys’ chorus. There are twenty- seven members in that group. The most outstanding performance giv- en by the vocal departments of grade and high school this year was the Vesper con- cert given on December twentieth in the Community building. It was very well at- tended and greatly enjoyed by all present. The choir risers given to the choir by the class of 1942 were first used at the Vesper concert and are much more satis- factory than the bleachers as the choir is r.ow able to perform from the stage. The members of the Tremont band and choruses and Mr. Vance hope that, along with the glorious news of our victories on the battlefronts, they can help to keep up the morale of the folks at home and in such a way help speed us to victory.
