Eight Symphony Concert BY ELISABETH SMITH Eight hundred children-- *ll the Sth and 6th graders from Mitchell and Yancey Counties-stood to sing “Old Hundredth” in unison, with the North Carolina Little Symphony accompanying; Shouted “it sounds like bees” to identify '‘The Flight of the Bumblebee” when it was played by the first violinist to illustrate the power that music has to communicate; discovered delightedly that the instruments do indeed Have “personalities” and do “talk to each other,” just as conductor, James Ogle, said they would in the first movement of the Schubert Symphony US. The gymna sium of Harris High School emptied quickly and quietly at the close of the exuberant John Philip Sousa march, “Semper Fideles: the Sym phony to continue its tour with the next stop in Asheville, the qhildren to return to their (jiassrooms from Buladean to |ee Log.

The theme for this year “We Begin Again...” leads our chain of thought into many directions. With spring just beginning to open new buds and unfold leaves, we realize that a new year of life is beginning again. We see the lush green grass across our fields, the spring flowers adding highlights to nature’s beauty, and an occasional rabbit or squirrel scampering across a well worn path. The planting of gardens, the blossoming of flower beds and the sprouting of freshly planted grass brings us back to the realization of our true value of the soil. From It we are furnished our food, shelter and clothing. It is through the wise use of our soil and the wonders of God that we are able to prosper from the use of our land. As stated in the book of Deuteronomy 8:10, “When you have eaten your fill, you must bless the Lord, your God, for the country he has given you.” We as. soil stewards are responsible for the land and conservation of its natural resources which are furnished by God. So as we begin this week of Soil Stewardship let us take time to be thankful for the many things which the soil provides and try to use the soil in a useful yet conservative way. We should remember that from the soil is where “We Begin Again...” Photo Credit-USDA Soil Conservation Service Hundred At and excitement in sound on an expanding young mind? A live performance by a young and lively orchestra with a running commentary by an insightful and clever conduc tor! Combine this with an audience crowded together on gymnasium bleachers but close enough to watch the players’ hands and faces and to feel the vibrations as well as hearing the harmonies. In many of the schools in Yancey and Mitchell Counties the teachers built up a basic music knowledge in their classes through the year by studying the families of instruments, elements of rhy thm, vocal music. The North Carolina Little Symphony prepares a special program for the children, which combines variety of style and tempo; length and complexity; participation and observation. The State does well to pay a generous part of the cost of its orchestra on wheels, and the local com munities who benefit from the children’s concert by sponsor ing an adult concert are realizing one of North Caro lina’s finest educational op portunities. purchased at the door or from any Toe River Arts Council Board member.
