MUSIC The Band, at Homecoming and in concert Dance to the music—That’s what Easton Eagles want to do. Mr. Bischoff, director of the Golden Eagle Band, says that the purpose of the department is to provide the students with a comprehen- sive musical education. He composes much of the music that the band plays and choreographs the formations for half-time field shows. The Vocal Music department is led by Ms. Bonnie Davis. She teaches the stu- dents in chorus to improve their vocal- ization. The students learn both reli- gious and popular songs. The singing Eagles perform at many local churches. In January Ms. Davis turned the choir over to Ms. J. Demarest, who returned from leave. The melodious tones of the Singing Eagles adds zest to the Open House activities. The choir, directed by Senior Singing Eagle Willie Mackie. 22
