beat and swing of THE JAZZ AGE.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SOCIETY
Among the many diversified student organ
izations on the Behrend Campus is the newly
formed Instrumental Music Society. The "Society"
was organized last November 1967 to give the
students of Behrend an opportunity to portray
their musical talents. Under the regulations
of tl'e 11HS the following subdivisions can be
formed: Cn, - Icert band, Concert orchestra, Pep
band, Stage Band, an ensemble, or almost any
other musical group. Currently at Behrend,
there is a concert band, and a pep band,the
latter group was seen at all home basketball
games this past season.
The concert band will make there musical
debut on February 29, common hour in the RUB
lecture room. Selections that will be played
in this concert include: ,highlights from
South Pacific, Celebrated Air by J.S. Bach,
Holiday for Trombones by David Rose, and other
light classics.
The director of this group, Lloyd
Johns received his B.S. in music from the
University of Cincinatti, and has taught
in the public school system for eighteen
years. He is currently the music instructor
at Wilson Junior High School in Erie, and
is Director of Lake Erie Music Camp.
Music 78, the concert band, is a one
credit course which meets Tuesday and Thurs
day seventh period in the Bub. It is not
necessary, however, to take the course if
you want to play in the band.
If you are interested in playing in
the concert band, joining or forming any
campus musical organizations, you can con
tact any of the following officers of the
IMS: Bob Byrd, president, Chuck Dressler,
vice-president, Ginny Kraus, secretary,
Chuck Travel, treasurer or Dr. White, the
advisor.
Many long hours of practice have gone
into the coming concert.
