Band Under the enthusiastic direction of Mrs. Van Hemert, our marching band made its debut in local parades this year and participated in the annual Tulip Time parade. The high- light of the year was the spring concert given in conjunction with the choir. The band also sponsored a pancake supper to finance new marching equipment. . 4

Let's hear that first note, in the third measure of the second bar once again - with the basses a bit louder. As the year went on, the task of im- proving notes, tempo, and accents became exacting until all minute detail was perfected. Singing in the St, Matthew's Passion and participating in the annual choral contest rewarded the hard efforts of the choir. From the first note of the Christmas candlelight concert to the final chord of the graduation anthem, voices blended as hearts were in tune to testify of the Saviour.
