The auditorium auditor-ium was well filled with patrons and applause for the performance. The first part of the concert was given by the junior band, numbering number-ing 62 boys and girls, and it was astonishing to hear what excellent harmony and rhythm the young musicians made. With this material to draw from, Delta high school is assured of good bands for years to come. Evan Christensen, music dept. head, directed the program, announcing an-nouncing the numbers. After the junior band, three numbers were given that had been rated highly superior at the Music Festival in Orderville two weeks before. The mixed sextet, Lila Mae Samp son, Cherie Hannifin, Bonnie Black, Kent Prestwich, Kenneth Fullmer, and Winston Christensen sang "Dry Bones". The trumpet trio, David and Winston Christensen sang "Dry Bones". The trumpet trio, David Seegmiler, Harold Snow and Mark Harris, played a number. The 3rd number was the saxophone quartet, quar-tet, consisting of Joe Bishop Leda Eigelow, Verdene Finlinson and Ila Fulmer. The Delta high school band gave the latter part of the program, with some1' marches and novelty numbers. Particularly popular was the arrangement of "He's a Jolly Good Fellow", and the narrative with band effects. Niel Heyborne, band president, expressed the-'.- appreciation ap-preciation of the public support re ceived. 1'rin. Glen Seegmiller announced that their goal for new unii'orms was $3000 to 3500, for the 65 band members. Of that sum, the school, by various activities, has raised around 1600, and the Millard County Coun-ty school board had added $1,0U0 to that. So the day nears when the band will all be outfitted in spick and span new red and white uniforms. |
