The orchestra has made a creditable appearance at commencements, plays and other various programs, including the Spring Music Festival. WEST CRRROLLTOn SCHOOL BflnD The West Carrollton High School Band was started in 1930 by Mr. Charles Patterson. Some of the instruments were bought by the school, and others were owned by the students. The band at this time consisted of about thirty pupils. During this time they gave pins as awards. This, however, has been changed to letters. At the beginning of the school year of 1934-1935, we met our new director, Mr. Charles West. Since then the senior band has increased to seventy-two members. They have played at football and basketball games, participated in band concerts at Miami University, and Wittenberg College, and have given broadcasts over WHIO. There is also a sixty piece junior band, the members of which will fill the vacancies in the senior band as the present members leave or graduate. Page Seventeen
