Frustrated Marching Band Members
Are Familiar Scene On Football Field
BY ANN BARHAM
A familiar scene on the GHS
football field before the games
and during the half-time has been
the 138 piece marching band try
ing to put their right feet forward
simultaneously.
With spats crooked, crossbelts
in tangles, and hats lopsided, the
frustrated band members strug
gled to get their music folders
straight.
This organization has, through
out the years since Mr. Glenn
Gildersleeve and Mr. H. Grady
Miller started it in 1925, repre
sented Senior from Canada to Mi
ami, Florida.
We have three bands at Senior
now, as follows: the training band,
the concert band, and the march
ing bandC which is a combination
of the members of both of the
other bands). The marching band
is non-credit and meets after
school hours during football sea
son only.
Five concerts are given by the
training and concert bands during
each school year. Present director,
Mr. Herbert Hazelman, was em
ployed in 1936 as instrumental
supervisor. Since then the band
has consistently placed in the top
division in the State music con
test-festival, and won a superior
rating in one national contest in
which it participated.
The uniforms, “monkey suits”
as they are so often called, were
designed by Mr. Hazelman. No
school funds are expended for
them. The Greensboro Kiwanis
Club, which has helped our band
tremendously upon various occa
sions, donated $7,500 to buy the
uniforms.
Mttsic Building
The band is housed in a $250,000
music building. The building con
tains separate rehearsal halls for
orchestra and choir also; never
theless, band members frequently
claim it as the “band building.”
With an instrument repair shop,
practice rooms, ensemble and sec
tion rehearsal rooms, offices, li
brary, instrument storage rooms,
dressing rooms, and a communica
tions room with “everything,” all
bands members need is an auto
matic horn-blower and they will
“have it made.”
The band is governed by student
officers whose duties are defined
in the band constitution which was
conceived and written by students.
The discipline of the band is han
dled by the band council which has
representatives of both bands. The
goal of the band program is to
reach a high standard of excel
lence of performance without de
stroying the fun of making music.
Traveling
The weekend when the band
went to play in Charlotte for the
two ball games and a parade, was
the first experience for many
sophomore band members of tak
ing an overnight trip with the
Senior band. The “ah’s” with the
first glimpse of the motel could
only compare with the “ugh’s”
when one first caught sight of
the prices on the menu. To every
one’s great relief, though, there
was a specialty for the band peo
ple that proved to save many pen
nies.
The band offers great oppor
tunities to its members. Many of
you may remember having heard
about the trip to New York last
year. It wasn’t very long ago that
the band took a group of 103
teenagers to Canada. Few of them
will ever forget those wonderful
visits in the homes of the people
there. Most of these students
would have never had this great
experience of truly getting to
know students from another coun
try, staying in their homes, or
getting a clear understanding of
the Canadians’ way of life, had
they not been members of the
band.
Not only did the band members
meet their Waterloo (the city
where they met the Canadian
Bandmasters group — the main
purpose of the trip) but many of
them saw Niagara Falls for the
first time; went to their first “tea
dance,” which, by the way, gets
its name solely by the time of day;
visited a real castle which left
them with the impression that
Sir Henry’s horses lived better
than some people they knew; and
experienced numerous other
“firsts” during their tour.
June Rubin, who was Mr. Hazel-
man’s secretary at the time, wrote
the following after returning from
the New .York trip:
“I’ve already sold two sponsor
ships for next year’s SPEBSQSA
(one of the band’s annual proj
ects), and I’m sure I could sell
fifteen more within a week if I
was guaranteed a trip back along
the Great White Way tomorrow!
When you’re a senior and you
come to the end of the road, you
look back down the rocky path
and wonder if it’s fair to the rest
of the world to have had such a
wonderful three years climaxed by
the greatest week-end of your
life!” :
Carolyn McMasters (extreme tight) argues for the negative while
the other debate team members look on. Left to right her team
mates are Dick Haskell, Mary Radcliff, and John Tasker.
Three Seniors, A Junior
Represent Debate Teams
Mary Radcliffe, junior, and Dick
Haskell, senior, will represent
Senior High’s affirmative debate
team while Carolyn McMasters,
senior, and John Tasker, senior,
argue for the negative.
The two teams will debate with
High Point and Winston-Salem
Reynolds March 11. The 1960 de
bate topic is “Resolved: That the
federal jgovernment should sub
stantially increase its regulation of
labor unions.”
All the debaters are either past
or present speech students. Mary
and Carolyn attended the debate
school at Wake Forest College this
past summer where Mary won
first place for extemporaneous
speaking. Both won certificates for
outstanding debating.
Dick wag the local winner of the
“I Speak for Democracy” Contest
which was sponsored this fall by
the Jaycees. , This is John’s first
experience with public speaking of
any kind.
