March, 1956
The Music Goes Round and Round
By FISH
STEPPIN’ ALONG: Beads of
perspiration could plainly be seen
on Mr. Hauss’s forehead and neck
and his voice quivered somewhat
as he announced the three num
bers, but with the skill and poise
of a seasoned veteran, he led the
Albemarle High Band to a rating
of Excellent at the district band
contest in Salisbury on March 10.
The performance, consisting of
“New Colonial March,” “Sunlit
Summits Overture,” and “Then-
dora Overture,” was judged by
Earl Sloucum of U.N.C., Dr. Paul
Bryan of Duke University, and
George Dickerson of W. C. U. N. C.,
who gave the band ratings of
I, II, and III, respectively.
As in previous years, the con
test was the culmination of long,
hard rehearsals and intensive
home practice (Just ask the
neighbors of one certain bass
player if you don’t believe
THAT!)
First clarinets, Jerry Lou Hol-
bert, Jimmy Miller, and Gary
Whitley, and flutist, Pamela Hin
son, received very favorable com
ment from the judges, while Dr.
Bryan said that Mary Jo Winn’s
piccolo playing “had excellent
tone and .was remarkably well in
tune.”
Rogell Hunsucker’s brilliant
performance on the baritone horn
was also enthusiastically receiv
ed by the judges and caused

many of the band directors to sit
up and take notice. His flawless
ly blown solo in “Sunlit Sum
mits” was one of the high points
of the entire afternoon.

OFF THE BEAT: A great many
thanks to Eugene Burris for get
ting the band safely to and from
the contest. His safe and sane
driving was appreciated by all.
Other bands at the contest were
Kings Mountain, Concord, Rock
ingham, Dallas, Winecoff, and
Granite Quarry.
The band members were very
glad to see Mr. Spencer B. Hatley,
former director of the band, who
is now selling instruments. Inci
dentally, he’s replaced that
bronze-colored Ford with a hand
some green Pontiac station wag
on.
Cary McSwain, Richard Peck,
and the author of this column
served as stage managers.

ON THE BEAT: Band members
who had hoped to loaf along
the remainder of the year are
going to be surely disappointed.
A few of the band’s future jobs
include its spring concert, a con
cert at West Albemarle Elemen
tary School, and the Easter Sun
rise Service at Stoney Hill
Church.
A treat in store for the march
ing band is the banquet, to be
held on April 10. The Civitans,
who are sponsoring the banquet,
plan to make it an annual affair.
