JV' i . r You Won't Do Any Business if You Havent Got A Bandg Our marching band, clad in colorful uniforms, spent many hours last fall parading up and down the football field as they prepared their half time entertainment for spectators at the football games. As this seventy piece group under the direction of Fiske Mountain marched on the field under the flood lights we can truly say that the large crowds were thrilled both by their maneuvers and stirring music. Fourth hour practices during the week made possible the formations that the group made: the moving diamond, the shoelace, the serpentine, the weaving countermarch, the revolving concentric circles, as well as block letters of the visiting teams. For the Thanksgiving day game, the band saluted all branches of the armed forces, march- ing on to the field in they played the Army an airplane formation as Air Corps march, chang- tliey played the Caisson Song, regrouping into an N as they played t'An- chors Aweighj' an IM for the Marines Hymn, and last a V as they played the Star Spangled Banner. The marching band also contributed ing to a block A as much to the political as well as the war effort by playing stirring patriotic songs and marches for the B-29 celebration and for Governor Bricker. The concert band made its first appearance on Sunday afternoon, February 25, in a joint con- cert with the orchestra. Two of their well-liked numbers were the New Moon overture by Rom- berg and Semper Fidelisf' During the basketball season, the pep band of twenty-five members selected from the group pro- vided much toward the pep and the color of the games. In preparation for the first band replacements next year, Mr. Mountain has a second band of 20 pieces which includes grade school as Well as jun- ior high students. As their lasit major activity this year the band, ensembles, and soloists attended the district fes- tival in Wichita April 6-7. i i M M. . i
