BAN IJ INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BY BEN KUCHAR ' ITH memberships in both the band and orchestra more than doubled, the instrumental music department, under the baton of Mr. Vroman, showed an encouraging increase in activity during the past year. More than eighty students were enrolled, and of these over sixty received technical instruction on a variety of instruments with the aid of eighteen stu- dent School of Music teachers supervised by Professor Mattern. In addition, a junior band and orchestra was organized to prepare the younger players of University High for future membership in the senior groups. The band played at all of the basketball games, at several assembly programs, at the out- door Purple and Gold meet and the Belleville festival. They also gave a concert during the year, and used the receipts for new uniforms. Music was furnished by the orchestra for several plays, for the spring operetta, and for the graduation exercises. Much of the orchestra's suc- cess may be attributed to the fine example set by the Senior Class members of the orchestra, many of whom held the principal solo chairs and were Mr. Vroman's chief support early in the season. VOCAL MUSIC The Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the A Cappella Choir, now in its third year of exis- tence, were as usual quite active during the past two semesters. A brilliant recital was given before parents and friends of Miss Olson's students at an invitational musicale and tea in May, and on Christmas Eve the Michigan League heard traditional carols sung by the A Cappella Choir. Members from both the Choir and Glee Clubs also participated in the very successful operetta Once in a Blue Moon, the receipts from which, combined with those from last years operetta, enabled the Choir to be outfitted at last with their long-hoped-for robes.
