BAND The college band this year was rated one of the best such groups ever assembled for the purposes assigned it by the music department in promoting school activities and in giving practice to band members. The band had two main purposes: first, to support student activities through the presentation of colorful half-time shows at football games, playing pep music for rallies and basketball games, furnishing music for matinee dances, and second, to offer a rich musical experience to the players of find, brass, and percussion instruments by preparing and presenting fine band music. Several concerts were given during the year, and small ensembles from the band played for a variety of community functions. Under the direction of Mr. Marsden the orchestra has proved exceptional. Hard work and practice . . . ORCHESTRA Three formal concerts, each of which came at the end of a quarter, highlighted the activities of the orchestra during the 1959-60 season. Persons from both college and community composed the audience at each of these concerts. Under the direction of Mr. Ralph Marsden, the orchestra is specifically organized for the purpose of providing student musicians with the opportunity of playing the finest symphony music. For the presentation of formal concerts, there are included in the orchestra players from the college area. Other orchestra activities include playing for the college opera and other productions requiring the support of an orchestra. Small ensembles are organized to serve the community and give the student musicians experience in playing chamber music for all types. Reversal rehearsal!
