HIS year the MUSIC DEPARTMENT of Westwood High School started to work for big- ger and better things as soon as the school term began. The Band began an intensive rehearsal schedule for its performance at the football games. This past season the Band presented many more intricate formations than last year. After a very successful marching season the Band started in preparing for the Christmas Concert and also for the annual Spring Concert. The Choir prepared to sing for various groups outside of school and also for their parts in the concerts of the year. - Three years ago an organization was formed in the Music Department. This organ- ization rehearsed occasionally for two years but this year the members decided -that they would put on a show. They began rehearsing for the show during the second quarter and on January 26, 1945, the Swing Band of Westwood High made their debut. The show was the first of its kind in the school as it was composed of all popular music. The arrange- ments for the musical numbers were written by Mr. Austin, the show proved to be a great success with an overflowing crowd in the auditorium. Less than two. months later and with less than two months rehearsal, the Department presented a two-act operetta titled Rosamunde by Franz Schubert. This operetta featur- ed three winners of the Metropolitan Opera Scholarships in .the lead roles. March 24 and 25 ,l945, marked the first time that l'Rosamunde had even been presented by a high school. The performance was given two nights to capacity crowds. Adding to the 'honors already bestowed upon Westwood, members of the Band and Or- chestra were chosen to represent their school in the County Band and Orchestra. These two groups performed a number of concerts during the year all over the sta-te. Another organization which deserves an enormous amount of thanks and recognition is the Central Music Committee. Without the untiring efforts of i-ts members the various functions held by the Music Department would not have been the successes that they were. The committee is composed of a member of each musical organization in the school. lt meets twice monthly and discusses -the problems and the future of each individual group of the Department. Each member has a specific job to do and they fulfill that job more than is necessary. No detail is overlooked and every function is operated with a great deal of ef- ficiency. All the other organizations, such as the Orchestra, Junior Choir, Boys' Glee Club, and the Girls' Glee Club, did their share of the work in presenting the concerts and shows. The students who are taking Music as their careers, i. e., the ones who are graduating this year are: Joan Daub, Edward Leddy, Jack Lindeman, and Faye Galbraith. Others who are continuing their musical interests are: Anne McDermott, William Janton, Frank Schultz, Alfred Schlotman, and Norman Crawford. 59
