LETTERS: Wonderful events
To the Editor:
On May 10 Marion High School band had their spring concert, starting with the jazz band and then the concert band. Both were outstanding and we were apprised of the fact that many individuals and groups had received I ratings at state. It was readily apparent to us that they were very deserving. It was a wonderfully enjoyable evening.
On May 13 the vocal part of the music program put on a pops concert. It was spontaneous in some parts which were performed by various groups of students and they were hilarious. The other groups, both large and small were of such high quality and we were informed of all the I's and awards which had been won both individually and in groups by these talented students.
These two evenings provided superior entertainment for our community and we just must be aware of both talent and teaching ability which we are fortunate to have here. Last night I felt like we were at a college hippodrome.
Thanks to all the students who put in so much time and share their talents with us and thanks to Mr. Connell and Mr. White for being such inspiring teachers. These students will always remember their high school careers and their lives will be enriched by the music they have been privileged to learn and perform.
