No matter what station, race, creed, or religion a person may be. music will always speak if he will but listen. Those who most enjoy music are those who are able to produce music. Usually those who enjoy music to the utmost are those who have learned in their youth that good music is taught in schools; to bring children in contact with the music of the masters and to teach them to play it. The West Salem High School Band was organized in November . 1928l ,vnder the direction of Mr. Whitney Nicholls. Since then Salem has shown that its musical talent hasn’t been over-estimated. The youngsters of the West Salem High School Band have always shown remarkable ability in solo work and in ensembles. During the course of years we have had many good directors. The band has been steadily climbing, and. with the cooperation of the students, will continue to climb. During the past year the band has been progressing rapidly. Although band or chorus did not participate in the Western Wisconsin Music Festival in the fall, they will undoubtedly enter the Western Wisconsin Music Tournament to be held at La Crosse in the spring. For several years the band has done little or no marching until last year. When spring comes townspeople will probably be awakened again (if they are not already up) Ly the beat of drums and marked time of marching feet. Without the help of the Band Mothers the music organizations certainly would not be what they are today. Band Mothers—our thanks to you! Page 24
