Show WEBER BAND . . . Chins in, shoulders back, mark time, play! And well-played music sounds out as Weber College's crack band goes into action. At football and basketball games, concerts, parades, and other school functions, the purple and white has been bolstered time and again by the psychological support of the finest band of its size in the state. Batoned by Mr. Clair Johnson, the band is noted for its dependable blaring at the right moments. Its yearly high-spot is a public concert. This year's show featured a number written by Mr. Johnson and published nationally: "Three Slippers," a trombone trio. The band membership includes a wealth of skilled soloists who are featured in assemblies and other entertainments when not busy in the band, but individual ability doesn't interfere with their talent for teamwork. Musettes Dorians Two consistently sensational musical groups at Weber are the Musettes and the Dorians. They have not only kept school assembly audiences entertained for a whole season, but they have performed some invaluable good- will work by singing at civic club luncheons and local functions. They each accompanied at least one program which Weber sent to schools elsewhere in the state. The Musettes are a girls' choral group under the direction of Mr. Clair Anderson. Just look at the picture; their singing is beautiful, too. If they could get the men in their audiences to get together in their whistling, Mr. Anderson's customary piano accompaniment would become unnecessary. Mr. Roland C. Parry's Dorian singers are a versatile gang of bassos, baritones, tenors and boy-sopranos who enjoy singing and who would go on singing even if they didn't get musical scholarships. Their wide range of numbers includes comedy-novelties, semi - dramatic harmony songs, and classics. Once in a while they even swing it. |
