Concerts, Football Games, and Parades. The Van Wert High School Band provides colorful and harmonious entertain- ment on many occasions throughout the year. Whether in their scarlet and grey uni- forms, evening attire, or summer uniforms, they always make a striking appearance in their performances. After diligent practice, several outdoor concerts are given in the summer. Fall brings halftime performances for the football games, and preparation for Vocal Va- rieties. A formal concert, followed by the Band Dance, is given in the spring. March- ing in holiday parades is another duty of the band. A small Pep Band provides music for pep assemblies. All these activities insure busy schedules for band members, keeping them on their toes. The band students and Mr. Jones certainly deserve commendation for their worthwhile efforts.

Choir Ends Successful Season with Van Wert A Cappella Choir has established a very outstanding record and has always been re- garded with highest honors. The 1959-60 choir strived to live up to these high standards and ex- hibited a successful effort. In former years, the choir presented a yearly Christmas program sponsored by the Women ' s Club, but this year they presented two joint con- certs with the Berne, Indiana, A Cappella Choir. Each concert was a great success, and the two choirs share wonderful memories that will never be forgotten. The choir activities were highlighted by the ever-enjoyable Vocal Varieties. This year, songs from two broadway musicals, South Pacific, and Oklahoma, were presented, The success of the production was evidenced by a full house both nights. The choir members witnessed the excitement and pleasures offered in preparing for and per- forming in District and State Music Contests. They toured to Bluffton College for District and to Oberlin College for State, receiving superior rat- ings in both contests. Looking back over this year ' s choir season, we all realize the values and enjoyment we obtained and know that our experiences in choir will stay with us forever.
