Although essentially a pep-raiser, this year's rejuvenated Band proved its versa- tility by playing everything from the Coro- nation Marchv at the Homecoming cere- mony and long-hair concert overtures to stunt numbers such as Old MacDonaldv and Pop Goes the Vlfeaself' It is still a mystery around the school whether or not Miss Anderson intentionally threw her ba- ton to the middle of the basketball floor during a stunt number, for the entire Band dutifully awaited its return and played the remaining two notes as though there had been no interval. Certainly the Band is an integral part of the strong school spirit nec- essary to inspire a team on to victory. l63l

Miss Beatrice Anderson, director of the Chapel Choir and the band. l62l Chapel Choir . . . Our music department is dehnitely growing. This year the department wel- comed Miss Beatrice Anderson -into its midst and she has proved herself invaluable in bringing out the best in both the Chapel Choir and the Band. The Chapel Choir this year was unique in that it consisted of only feminine voices. This group proved its ex- cellence not only to the school but also to the community for it gave many fine per- formances at Immanuel Lutheran Church. The fact that Waldorf can boast two fine choirs is evidence of the emphasis placed on music.

Behind the Scenes . . . Musicians do not become accomplished overnight, for eoery hour of performance -is dependent upon many hours of patient ef- fort by both the musician and his or her instructor. The music department does not agree with the theory that 'cpractice makes perfectf for it insists upon its own inter- pretation which is that 'conly perfect prac- tice makes peifectf, Instruction and practice make up part of the musical training. The college endeavors to present to the students the cultural back- ground of music through some of the ly- ceurn programs and other visiting artists and musical groups. 64
