BOOSTER CLUB
PLANS CONCESSION
TO RAISE MONEY
Members of the Band Booster
club, recently organized adult
group, will take its first active
part in support of the school band
organization at the football game
"between Palmer and Anchorage
this Friday. The group plans the
sale of hot dogs, pop, and pop
corn during the game.
The discussion was made dur
ing the second meeting of the
group held on September 27 when
Jim Wilson was named chair
man of the organization, Marne
Hanks secretary, and Claude
Want, treasurer Money realized
from the sales will go toward a
fund hoped to be raised by the
group to help in the purchase of
additional band instruments,
drum corp and drum major uni
forms, and additional music.
The object of the organization
is to foster local interest in the
Palmer School band, help the
students, and the band program.
Although this is a relatively small
area. Lee Plumbley, band master
told the group, we hope eventual
ly to have a band program repre
sentative of the growing com
munity in which we are living.
Committees named by Chair-,
man Wilson were: Ways and
Means, Pat Lawton, chairman
and Dorothy Cook. Concessions,
Virginia Gallant, chairman, and
Mrs. Claude Want and Jim Wil
son.
To date there are 100 beginners
in the band program, Plumblev
said, and about 25 students in
the senior band. Our problem
with the beginners is lack of in
struments, he pointed out. Par
ents are naturally reluctant to
invest a sum of money in an in
strument without some assur
ance that the child is going to
show an interest in continuing
his music studies. At the pres
ent time we are playing with
school horns, using disinfectant
on mouth pieces. We hope to be
gin the fourth grade with flutes,
beginning a long-range program
We will have a performing or
ganization this year, and with ex
perienced students coming up
each year, we will have a larger
program each year. A tentative
budget of $2,000 a year, would
provide as good a program as any
school. When 50 students begin
band work, about 20 of them will
own their own horns. After being
in band two years at least two
thirds of them will have gotten
their own instruments
Superintendent of schools, Wil
liam Zahradnicek told the group
that the school would be able to
help in obtaining some of the'
needed instruments.
Anyone having instruments in
good condition which are not
now in use and which they wish
to sell are invited to leave the in
strument at the Central School
office. The instrument will be ap
praised by the band master and
BRIDE-TO-BE
