Brevard Band Well Received At Greensboro, Rated “Excellent” By - The Editor The fine Brevard high school band won an excellent rating in the State finals at Greensboro last Friday. Playing in Group five classi fication, Brevard received a tremendous ovation as the cur tain fell at the conclusion of their third number, a selection that was ordered played by the judges. It was by far the best per formance of the youthful musi cians this year, and only the judges know why Brevard did not receive a superior rating. Band directors from across Noted Trumpeter Emerson Head To Be Heard At Brevard College, 25th Emerson Head, director of in strumental music at Wake For est college, will be presented in a chapel program at Brevard col lege on Wednesday morning, April 25th, at 10:00 o’clock. He will be featured as a trum pet soloist and will be accom panied at the piano by Mrs. Head. He also will comment on different types of trumpets. Mr. Head is well - known in this area, having been associated with the Brevard Music Center. In : ddition to his duties at Wake Fmest college, he plays first trumpet with the Winston-Salem Symphony orchestra. The public is cordially invited to hear Mr. Head. North Carolina said that the Bre vard band was a superior band in the finals. Emerson Head, director of the Wake Forest band, said he rated their performance as superior. Brevard’s musicians played under a terrific handicap. Five minutes before their con cert was to begin, the lights in Aycock auditorium went out. In almost total darkness, the local band had to set up in posi tion. Then there was a delay of 35 minutes. The tension mounted with every minute. But the minute the lights went on and Director John D. Eversman raised his baton, all was calm and no one knew just how nervous our boys and girls were. They played their hearts out and not one sour note was heard during the 25 - minute concert. This writer had heard the Brevard band play in Greens boro on four previous occasions, but last Friday’s was their best performance. Naturally, there were tears when the announcement was made that Brevard had received an excellent rating instead of superior. But they took it good naturedly, and there was one general comment: “Just wait until next year.” And that’s a good thought Out of the 39 band members making the trip, there were on ly five seniors. The rest of band is comprised mostly of eighth and ninth graders. It was by far the youngest bamPat Greensboro. And to our way of thinking, the beat: But of course, we are pre judiced.
