Speaker for the evening was

■“Two years ago,” began Mr.
Bray, “we, and by we l meen
you, your parents and I, began
to build toward a program
which is just now beginning to
bear fruit. Together we have
overcome many obstacles that
have stood in the way of hav
ing the kind of band of which
you would be proud to be a
member. The fact that these
handicaps have been overcome,
should prove to you that those
we might find in our path in
the future may also be topped.
“1 don’t beiieve that you rea
lize the importance that most of j
our top level educators through- I
out the United States place in
file arts, of which music is one
oi the most important. To illus
trate this recognition, the Am
erican Association of School Ad
ministrators selected the crea
tive arts as the general theme
of their 1959 convention. The
resolution which was adopted
by this association at their con- |
vention in Atlantic City, New J
Jersey, in February of 1959 reads
as follows: ‘We believe in a
well balanced school curriculum 1
in which music, drama, painting,
poetry, sculpture, architecture
and the like are included side
by side with other important
subjects such as mathematics, .
history and science. It is im
portant that pupils as a part of
general education learn to ap
preciate, to understand, to cre
ate and to criticiae with dis-

“ I would like to refresh your
I memory as to some of the things
I we have accomplished during the
Jpast two years. Two years ago
we had. no bandroom. Today
we have one of the most modem
in Eastern North Caro
lina. Two years ago only a
handful of you knew what an
oboe, a French hom or bass and
alto clarinets were. Today you
j all not only are familiar with
! these instruments, but some of {
you have become proficient in
performing on them. During
these two years we have added
1 many other instruments which

| increase the capabilities of the
! band and offer a wider range
jof instruction to the members of
t our band.
“Even more important than
the physical change, is the
change in your attitude toward
the band. You are now begin
ning to acquire that which is all
'important to any organization—
pride. Without pride and a
feeling that this is your band,
all of the money in the world
would not build a good band.
You should—everyone of you—
be proud of the fact that you
are a member of this band.
|You are participating in a
j worthy joint enterprise—you are
practicing a skill—and you are
communicating with your fellow
I students, your faculty and your
I community. Let’s take the first
: goal—a joint enterprise. You
1 belong to an organization in
: which individualized cooperation
jis the fundamental basis of
achievement. Today there seems
Ito be two extremes in the
world—a mechanical conformity
in which everyone follows the
leader, or a reckless individual
ism in which everyone does
what he wants and tramples on
everyone else in doing it. In the
; band you are working with all

[without sacrificing your indivi

yet all of you. It is not a, ma
chine and no one can get more
from you than you are willing
to give. I can lead, but you
don’t have to follow. When you
do follow, and that is the point
which I believe makes the band
outstanding over any other ac
tivity, the result is obvious to
anyone that you are combining
your talents for no selfish per
sonal reason but for the good
of the whole organization. In
my opinion, and please don’t in
terpret this as criticism of any
other activity, there is more
genuine teamwork in the suc
cessful conduct of the band
than is exhibited by any bas
ketball or football team where
too often a star system makes
most of the players very sub
ordinate to those who must do
the scoring.
“Secondly you are practicing
a skill. It is just as much to
your credit to be able to play
an instrument well, as it would
be to throw a baseball—bounce
a basketball or to hit a tennis
ball. There is no other physi
cal activity which requires more
intelligent concentration and
hard practice to master than
playing a band instrument.
From the largest instrument to
the smallest, whether it be wood
wind, brass or percussion all
require that singleness of pur
pose which results in the band
student learning the all import
| ant fact that working together
iis an art and will carry over
I from your musical training to
I the life you will have to live
| with your fellow man long as-
I ter your instrument has been
j put away for the last time.
“Last of all, you are commu
nicating, through music, to your
fellow students and your com
munity. A band that plays its
music well cannot fail to com
municate to its listeners the
ideas the composer intended to
convey in his work. Whether it
be nationalistic in character,
martial or entertaining, it is the
one language that is universal.
“In conclusion, let me warn
you of certain dangers which
will always surround your or
ganization, whether it be band
or any other to which you
might belong. Do not let it be
come subordinate to other inter
ests. If you perform in a pa
rade, you should feel that yours
i is the best and you should exert
j yourself to convey this feeling
to the spectators. When you
perform at the halftime of a
football game, don’t feel that you
are just taking up time while
the players are resting. Yours
■is an important and impressive
part of the whole picture. As
performers on the field, you do
not have an opportunity to see
i what is going on in the stands
j while you are maneuvering and
i playing. But I can assure you
' that the spectators are watching
! your performance as avidly and
with as much interest as they
had, a few minutes earlier,
watched the athletes play.

gressed a long way in these two
