STEAMSHIP COMPANY
FALL BAND CONCERT
MAKES BIG HIT
The tug strides made by the
high school band the past two
years were noted by those at
tending the Fall Concert last
Friday evening. The very fine
presentations of the band brought
the hour and one half-long pro
gram to an end all too sogn.
The concert was opened by
members of the sixth grade band
which offered various selections
which illustrated the first steps
in learning to play instruments.
Lee Plumbley, band master, ex
plained the steps that are follow
ed in band practice, explaining
that considerable time is spent in
the early part of the program to
allow a good musical foundation
to develop in the student.
The junior band, composed of
students of the seventh and
eighth grades, presented a num
ber of selections illustrating ad
vancement from the first year
into a better coordinated type of
playing.
A big hit at the concert was
the girls’ drum corps, now in
their third year of work. Al
though their new uniforms did
not arrive in time for the concert,
the girls made a very neat ap
pearance in dark skirts and white
shirts. Their presentations were
well received by the audience.
Featured during the program
were Muriel Hanks and Rita Nel
son, majorettes who presented
baton twirling to the accompani
ment of the Pioneer band; J. C.
Harder, trumpet solo; Allayn
Wilson, David Sweeney, and
J. C. Harder, cornet trio; end Rita
Nelson, baritone saxophone solo,
all members of the Pioneer Band.
