:;(! Monday morning to deiind
their stale title at the annual con
ies! in Greensboro. l,asl year the
hand won top honors with two
other hands in the highest ruled
group iii the slate.
The baud has been putting in
oii( hours of practice for the-,:p-
pioaching conlcst, and are working
hard to keep the high honors.
On Thursday 40 members of the
Waynesvillc chorus will leave for
the musical festival, also in Greens
boro, and will participate in the
slate-wide choral concert. This is
a non-competitive event. The
chorus won a rating of excellent

I ly in Asheville. Because of this
recognition, they will participate in
Hie stale event, wnere two icauing
national choral leaders will train

three other numbers previously
furnished, the judges will select
(lie second number for the band
to play. ,
The state concert band contest
is composed of six groups. Any
hand can enter the group they wish.
The higher the group, the more
difficult the music. Group 'hrce
is easier than group four, and the
fourth group is not as difficult as
group five, while group six is the
top. and hardest of all.
The Waynesville band students
unanimously wanted to remain in
group six, where they have per
formed before. There are only
three bands in the state entered in
this group Waynesville, Lenoir
and Greensboro. The same three
lied last year for the top honors.
Listed in group five arc bands
from Charlotte, and Winstos-Salem-The

difficult as that for group six. Ashe
