HARTT LABORATORY BAND Under their newly-appointed director, Mr. Williaml Gravit, the Laboratory Band provides music educators with experi- ence on instruments other than their own. This enables them to teach with a wider back- ground in all instruments and gives them much valuable ex- perience. Besides reviewing secondary instruments from brass and woodwind class, members study literature for band which may be used in their future work.
