THE ORCHESTRA lgdfili is-illflifir, Cggqduegqma It wasn't just a successful year in musicg this season marked another year in the ever advancing and enlarging de- partment of musicin the Winfield high school. Aside from routine rehearsals and duties of the music department these organizations have given a series of con- certs which were well attended and thoroughly appreciated. The band, numbering 70 players, ful- filled many engagements, including all basketball games and pep assemblies. The second annual Wellington band festival was attended by the band again this year. At this festival the W.H.S. band was acclaimed the best drilled and best dressed organization in attendance. The chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Foster Newland, presented three concerts, the first was a very impress- ive Christmas program in the high school auditorium. Not only were the musical numbers well performed, but the stage scenery and lighting were excellent: The second appearance was for the state Sunday school teachers' convention in this city during April. The spring concert was held May 10 in the high school auditorium. All choral groups who entered in the Southwes- tern music contest were presented in this concert. The 75 piece senior high orchestra had an especially busy concert season this year. The orchestra, under the IT? Concert baton of Paul Painter, presented four concerts including the Olmstead mem- orial concert and an appreciation con- cert which is an annual presentation for the grade school students. Winfield retained its high standardsin competition during the annual South- western music contest. Highly-superior ratings were earned by the band, mixed chorus, A Cappela choir, senior high girls' ch0rus,junior high chorus and both junior and senior high orchestras. The small ensemble groups, including vocal and instrumental, ranked very high. The greater share of high honors in the contest went to Winfield high students.
