Spring Concert
Provides Enough
For Festival Fares
The Spring Band Concert, held
last Friday evening in the School
Auditorium under the direction of
Bandmaster Wm. Bixby, was the
culmination of a series of projects
to raise funds to send the school
band to the Music Festival in An
chorage on April 23.
The audience response indicated
their surprise and pleasure at the
progress the band has made in the
last nine months. The selections
were varied in tempo and style,
and included numbers which will
be played with other school bands
in a big production on April 25
in Anchorage. Probably the most
popular number with the students
and the audience was the medley
from “My Fair Lady.”
Soloists were High School
seniors Fred Chambers on the
trumpet, playing “Jupiter” by E.
F. Goldman, and Earl Towner,
baritone horn, playing “Entrance
of the Nobleman” by Peltz. Also
soloing was Susan Saito, flutist,
who is in the eighth grade, and
who has had her instrument for
only a few months. Her selection
was “Oriental” by Cesar Cui.
The Festival Committee, headed
by Jim Blanning and Dorothy
Young, state that there now are
sufficient funds to pay the trans
portation of the band. The com
munity has co-operated whole
heartedly in giving these students
this wonderful opportunity to par
ticipate with other school bands.
A full report of receipts will be
published soon.
