Summer Music Classes Close
The Harrington Special School
District concluded it's third annual
summer music class sessions last
week with the largest enrolment
since these classes were inaugu-
rated. A total Of IS boys and girls
were enrolled and received instruc-
ton in all band instruments for a
total Of seven weeks.
These lessons were made poss-
ible by the local school board with
instruction provided by Melvin L.
Brobst, the school music teacher.
In addition to one lesson each week
those children who qualified, also
participated in a band, rehearsal,
either junior or senior, with the
privilege Of attending the senior
band on it's parades and concerts.
During the summer the band
won several prizes at parades, and
presented concerts on Memorial
Day, at the annual ice cream fes-
tival at the AsbuFy Methodist
Church, and at the gTandstand dur
ing the fair. This week they at
tended the parade at fredericksburg,
and are planning to play a con-
cert at the REA picnic at the fair
grounds on Wednesday, August 49,.
One of the purposes of the
schools music program is to en-
courage band instrumental instruc-
tion during the school year, and
affect a bridge from spring to fall
in order that a good music instru-
mental program can be started in
September without too much lapse
in instruction.
