QP T' 77 Savage .Symphony BAND With the formation of a new group this year, known as the Cadet Band, there are now three complete band units in the Whitewater Public Schools: the Senior, junior, and Cadet Band. All three were under the baton of our new director, Mr. Gerald Fritz. The Senior Band again had the pleasure of attending the music festival at Rivet- view Park in Chicago the last part of August. It also appeared at the Wfalworth County Fair. During the halves of the Homecoming game, held on October 16, the band per- formed with many fine maneuvers and formations. On February 5, all the bands took part in a successful midwinter concert. The theme for this concert was Bandcast , All three bands were presented in a very un- usual and interesting manner. Q On April 3 the annual solo contest was held with Wfhitewater as the host. Several of our members participated in this event. April I0-12 the concert band journeyed by a streamlined train to Mound, Minneso- ia, where it stayed overnight and played a concert on Palm Sunday. Sunday night was spent in Minneapolis. The whole trip proved to be a wonderful experience. On May 8 the annual band tournament was held here with over twenty bands tak- ing part. Our band played in Class A again this year. The band elected these members as officers: President Karen Coburn Vice President , Nancy Fardy Secretary Karen Eames Treasurer . Lyles Enright Reporter William Hunt Page Twenty
