Weaver, South Windsor exchange bands in concert weaver s Band marches on the football field to provide precision drills and music during halftime The Orchestra, Band, and Choir com¬ bined to form one of Weaver’s finest musical seasons. It was not unusual to hear the sounds of music coming from one room or another at 8:00 where either the band, orchestra or choir was rehearsing for a concert. The first performance of the year was the Christmas concert, when the Choir sang so delightfully that the auditorium rang with applause. The Orchestra also played well, doing many familiar numbers as well as the classics. Highlighting this year was a band ex¬ change program between Weaver and South Windsor. This provided a chance for the students to get together both musically and socially. This year, the Band worked very hard, accompanying the cheerleaders’ chants and practicing for the big Thanskgiving Day Show. In the plans for the Spring Concert was a spectacular effort by the Choir to produce excerpts from South Pacific , a combination of story narration and musical numbers. Senior members of the Orchestra include Jeanne Kleinman, James McLendon, Angela Thomas, and Diane Kelly. Far left: Members of the Weaver choir diligently practice their music for the Spring Concert.
