Walters NDER the capable direction of Mr. Castle, who has been with us only three full years, our band has grown from eighteen to seventy members . During that time we have added some of the less common instruments, such as the oboes, the flutes, the piccolo, the bassoons, the bass and alto clarinets. The addition of these instruments has given our band a fuller and more unique sound. We have raised the standard of the music we play from the very simple selections to the more complex concert selections played only by the more advanced high school bands. This year we combined the use of the voice with band accompani- ment in our very interesting rendition of the Gettysburg Address . As a school service organization, we have played at football games, pep rallies, and assemblies. We have provided entertainment for the local P. T. A. 's and have given concerts for the elementary school children. 70
