ARTISTS IN THE MAKING

Shaking the soundproof walls of the band room with voiume from all sizes, shapes, and kinds of instruments, the beginning instrumental stud e nts practiced faithfully.

Makino their way to the fourth floor every day, three divisions of preparatory students studied, practic ed ~and challenged, learning the fundam e ntals of music. S ixt ee nth notes and half notes, crescendos and diminuendos, holds and rests all were studied by these junior highers

With visions of first chair and the varsity band and orchestra dancing in their heads , these prepsters , under the baton of Vernon Forbes worked hard to master the technique of playing Advanc e m e nts into the varsity group for some and a substantial music foundation for all made the hour every day weil spent.
