ORCHESTRA COMMITTEE We as the orchestra, have again b en active this year. We accepted an invitation to the Orchestra Work¬ shop in Brandon during January, played at the South¬ ern Manitoba Musical Festival, and are now planning a special spring concert to be held in June. We are fortunate in having Mr. Albert Horch as our conductor. He has certainly shown us that he knows which end of the baton to hold. Mr. Horch plays flute in the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, and has also been an instructor at the International Peace Garden Music Camp. Even though we are having a tremendous season this year, the word “orchestra” in Winkler brings back fond memories of our former conductor, Mr. J. P. Redekopp. When he stamped his foot, that meant “play loudly”; when his baton knocked over a few near-by stands, that meant “stop in the middle of the bar, pick up the stands, and then continue”. We will never forget the many valuable things he has done for our orchestra. Our orchestra has given a large group of students an opportunity to display their musical talents. We wish it continued success in the future years in which it may continue to add to the cultural life of the community. Bill Janzen
