These have helped to bring about many a victory for the Mighty Men of Waukeslia High. Playing at all our spectator sports, these fellows and gals have what it takes to boost our spirits when the going gets tough. In direct opposition to the Pep Band we have the Tenth Grade Ensemble and the Eleventh Grade Triple Trio. Musical groups with a soft, mellow touch, designed for those who have the time, in- terest and ability to devote to entertaining various service and womens clubs, church groups and themselves. E221

Our Troubles Are Through SENIOR BAND I hear music, but there's no one there . . . V That's what all the students in Edison study hall think as they listen to the band practice diligently every afternoon in the room just above. But those blasts of trumpet, the mellow sounds of the wood- winds, and the clang of the cymbals are all in har- mony in time for the first football game of the season. ln the crisp fall air the rousing music matches the brisk mood, as the seventy members of the band lend a background for our energetic cheering. In the gay, braid trimmed uniforms the band goes through their sprightly-precision forma- tions the half-time, led by the pert and pretty drum majorettes. The Pep Band, a smaller fifteen mem- ber part of the Senior Band, capably takes over for the basketball season. Their exhuberant good spir- its are so contagious that they pep up everyone - the team and spectators alike. A flip of the wrist and a turn of the dial has brought us the band on several other different occasions, via the air waves. The Clarinet Quartet, another small band group, has also had several special spots on the radio this year. At other times, a short walk has given us a chance to hear the band, very ably led by the bandmaster, Mr. Carl Dollinger, for our as- semblies and concerts. One of the final public appearances of the band was the annual spring concert, held on April 4, in the auditorium. There we heard many of the rhythmic melodies and gay marches, so much a part of the band. From the sour notes to sweet notes, those long hours of practice have brought the band through on a high C, and so our band plays on! i211

The orchestra favors us with several assembly programs each year, and the greater public is allowed to hear their accomplishments at the an- nual concert. A few of the students in the orchestra belong to local dance bands, and find the instruction which they have received helps them greatly in this medium. XE 'can f25l
