BAND BOOSTER
CLUB TO FORM
A small, but enthusiastic group
of parents met with bandmaster
Lee Plumbley and William Zah
radnicek, superintendent of sch
ools on Monday night of this week
to discuss the fo.mation of a
Band Booster club in the Palmer
school system.
One of the purposes of such a
club, Plumbley pointed out, is to
back up the members of the band
and the schools in their work in
music- Students who feel they
are being backed up by their par
ents and friends work better,
realizing that the efforts being
put forth in their behalf mean the
parent is going out of his way to
show his interest in him and the
organization. The students repay
this support tenfold, in apprecia
tion, Plumbley said.
A Band Booster organization
helps raise needed funds, con
ducts social activities and might
include parent-student banquets,'
around Ch- istmas and again in
the Spring. It offers an opportun
ity for students and parents to
come together for good times, the
band master pointed out.
Ways in which funds could be
raised were suggesed as rummage
sales, cake sales, and selling
“Beat the opposing team” ribbon
buttons during sports events.
The school band is now in im- j
mediate need of uniforms for the !
drum corp, drum major, and the
band leader, also new instru- |
ments. As the band program
grows, instrument needs will in- j
crease. Hopes for a 50-60 piece |
band were expressed by the band
leader and school superintendent, i
The need to emphasize the
band program was pointed out :
by Plumbley. The program gives
the student a basic musical back
ground and teaches him to play
musical instruments that in later
years may be worked into or- j
chestral, band, or swing band
participation. It helps improve the
student’s cultural background,
gives him a place in the world,
and offers a feeling of “belong
ing”. “Kids must excell in some
thing”, he pointed out. “They like j
to do things and get more out of
life by participating in a program

such as the band offers to them”.
For the first time in the Pal
mer schools there will be a drum
corp this year. Students have al
ready signed up for the corp and
although they have no drums,
are learning the use of their drum
sticks. A group of majorettes is
being trained and band memb
ers are practicing marching, with
an entirely new type step being
studied.
The next planned meeting for
parents and all interested adults
will be held in the school cafe
teria Monday night, September
27 at 7:30 p.m. The public is in
vited to attend and participate in
the discussion of forming the
Booster club.
