Is there trouble in River City because of a band? No! Is there trouble at Walther because of a band? Well, maybe the stu- dents on the second floor have heard dis- torted tunes from the top ten as early as 8:15 A.M. in the morning coming from the band room. When they get down to busi- ness, though, they can practice Handel's Water Music with the moving spirit of 18th century musicians who once per- formed this work. Band Ojicers, l. to r. BACK: M.

A CAPPELLA - MADRIGAL Under the leadership of Mr. Reese, the A Cappella Choir accom- plishes a great deal. Meeting second period every day, this group sings both religious and secular songs. Aside from their frequent appearances at the Wednesday morning chapel services, the A Cappella Choir par- ticipates in many more inter- and extra-curricular activities. Many times they perform at area churches. For the Christmas season, the A Cappel- la teams up with the other vocal organizations at Walther to put on an outstanding performance. Their Sacred Concert is performed in con- junction with the Orchestra. The Spring Concert is presented by the A Cappella Choir, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, and the Freshman Chorus. The major event of the year is the mammoth concert presented by the combined A Cappella Choirs and Bands of Luther North, Luther South, Milwaukee Luther, and Walther High Schools. Meeting every Wednesday, the Madrigal is a select group of Walther's best vocalists. Under the leadership of Walther's musical director, Mr. Reese, this group performs selections which are specially arranged for the better trained vocalist. The selections which the Madrigal performs include folk, sacred, and popular songs. The Madrigal sang Christmas Carols at both Marshall Field's and at Nielsen's Restaurant, and they also perform at area churches. Madrigal Members, I. to r. BACK: B. Kluender, D. Kreuger, G. Neumann, R. Schnake, B. Mainz, M. Murphy. ROW 2: T. Nickel, P. Malzahn, L. Steben, N. Kamin, B. Schulh. ROW 3: Mr. Reese, B. Schroeder, P. Rush, R. Korn, C. Teske, B. Buchholz.

ORCHESTRA Are those the beautifully tilting strains of stringed instruments? An orchestra at Walther? Highly improb- iblel However improbable, there is an orchestra at Walther. Meeting seventh hour of :very day, this organization encompasses instruments not included in the band: the bass, the cello, the viola, and the violin. They partici- pate in concerts with the band including the Christ- mas Concert, Spring Con- cert, and the Band Concert. They also participate with the choir in the Sacred Con- cert. In the third year of their existence they are an extraordinarily fine group. 'E Orchestra Qgicers, I. to r. TOP ROW: S. Osenberg, Vice-President, K. Bunge, Librarian, L. Thum, Student Director.
