The
South Hamilton Senior High Concert Band of 1974-1975 was greatly honored
this year by being asked to perform for the Iowa Music Educator's Association
Convention which was held January 18, 1975 in the Fort Des Moines Hotel.
They were also kept busy at home preparing for the concerts which they
performed in the high school gym in Jewell on December 8, March 2, and
May 20.
The last concert was a combined effort with the vocalists, as well as the
art and home economic departments. People attending the "Fine
Arts Festival" first listened to a beautiful choral concert. Then
while walking to the gymnasium, they were able to view the many various
art projects on display in the rotunda. These projects included paintings,
drawings, crafts, photographs, and pottery. In the home economics
rooms, blouses and other garments were on display as well as refinished
furniture and hand-made pillows. The instrumental concert featured
trobone soloist Mark Whitlock in a breath-taking performance of "The Blue
Bells of Scotland." Two student teacher guests conducted pieces.
These guests were Mr. Dave Swaroff and Mrs. Barb Needham, both ISU students.
The jazz band concluded the evening and issued a special invitation to
all people to attend the second "Old-Timers" Dance scheduled for May 31. |
