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.
