called odd instruments, such as
low woodwinds, bassoons, saxo
phones and oboes, which are more
I expensive than the common instru
ments of the band.
Many of the common instruments
are privately owned, but school in
struments were purchased through
contributions of citizens, mer
chants, civic clubs, American Le
gion and school board. j
I Beginning students in the band
were started from grades five
through eight. There are no se
nolrs hi the band this year and
the band will only loose stu
dents by graduation next year.
