Talented Students Perform in Band and Chorus Mr. Wilson sings the melody along with his choral students to aid those who are unable to sing the correct tune. Music, both vocal and instrumental, was a very important part of our school. The three choruses Girl’s, Mixed, and Choral Ensemble worked hard on classical, religious, and popular music to present before the student body or at a choral contest. The Band carries the spirit at varsity football games with the playing of “On Watauga” and “Dixie.” While looking forward to playing for graduation in the spies they continue to practice for band contests. Talented musicians and choral students were instructed by the Music Department consisting of Mr. Otis Strother and Mr. Eugene Wilson. Mr. Otis Strother points out the correct procedure to take in playing a difficult section of music. The Band is composed of many members playing various instruments to give it a full and varied sound. 28
