B a n d an d C h o ir P e rfo rm T o g e th e r It was a beautiful day for a spring picnic, and everyone had a good time. look at what went on, s6e the center section. For a closer Chemawa’s concert band, along with the choir, performed at Ka-Nee- Tah, Oregon, May 13th. For the first time the choir sang while the band played. The band played a variety of pop songs, such as ‘‘25-6 to 4” , ‘‘Every thing Is Beautiful”^ and “ We’ve Only Just Begun.” Mr. Surmon, the band director, com mented, “ The band has improved a great deal since last year. One of the reasons for the improvement was that there are 16 seniors out of 20 band members. The seniors have had more experience playing than the under classm en.” Mr. Surmon would , like, to see more udents take advantage of our music program - especially since we will be losing sixteen senior band members.
