Band The fall of 1928 marked the first anniversary of the Mount Pleasant High School

Band. The band was organized by Clarence Kelley, of the college faculty, about the middle of the first semester in 1928 and was taught and led by him throughout the rest of the school year.

A great deal of progress was made during the first year, considering the fact that most of the recruits knew practically nothing about either music or the playing of their instruments, when they joined the band. Practices were held regularly every Wednesday and Friday noons at twelve o'clock and during the afternoons of those days.

During the second semester, the boys, under the leadership of Mr. Kelley, spent many hours in earnest practicing. Mr. Kelley assisted them also in perfecting a one act play entitled "A Night in an Inn." To give the boys practice in playing in public, several out of town programs were arranged for them. One of these was given at the Indian School, and several were given in rural schools near here.

At last, towards the end of the semester, a concert was given at the High School. In this the band played several selections and the play went off well. The imoney thus obtained was used to start a fund for uniforms. Memorial Day was the last public appearance of the band during the school year. On this occasion the band took an inv portant part in the parade and ceremonies.

The next fall the band was continued under the leadership of Newell Long, the new band master at the college. Mr. Long started a new system of having a beginners class which met during the fourth hour.

The band marched to and played at several football games, thus stirring* up enthusiasm and school spirit among', the townsfolk. They played for most of the games during the basketball season.

_ Beginning the second semester Mr. Long divided the boys into two groups, the junior and the senior band. The senior being the more advanced, started on some new concert music in preparation: for an entertainment in the spring.
