(Courier News BHS 'German Band' Kept Busy During the Past School Year Bf HUTU LEE (School Correspondent) Last fall when it was announced a high school PTA meeting that the "German" band was going to appear on the program, everyone turned around to the person 1 sittinb next to him and whispered, "What's German band?"

Hnlph Wan! nnd Clovis Garnett, clarinets, May 28. Albert Fairflcld, trumpet, Jimmie Culbertson, trombone, and Tommy Dowdy, bass horn. most noticeable thing about these boys was their pants fitted tight below the knees where they met long white stockings, rough shoes, and gay blouses all Ui the style of European pheasant dress. The second feature of their program was the type of music they played, mostly polkas and other fast-moving tempos. The band's initial appearance was a success.

Since that time, thceo boys have made some 25 guest appearances, playing at the BHS, Junior High, Lange and Sudbury PTA meetings, and for all the local civic clubs. In fiprll they played for the Steele, Rotary' Club. Their most recent Bppearance was at the banquet for the 1952 seniors given by the BHS Parent-Teacher group. The Idea for this unusual group, which fe composed of some of the BHS band's most capable musicians, began early in the school year when band director Robert Lipscomb or- derel several books of music entitled the "Hungry Five in Germany." Thwe booklets Included not only the musio, but also dialogue (jokes) to go along with the concert. The music patterned after the kind the early European troubadors probably offered as they traveled about various countries playing and Binging at banquets and parties for their own meals or for other types of remuneration.

The boys now own other "Hungry Five" music, from Spain and Ireland, with accom- panying Jokes. On stage, they make a colorful with their "horns" and bright gTmgnea which wero whipped up In about two days' time by the two high school home economics teach- trs, Miss Ina Ellis and Miss Gloria Crosby, assisted by two students, Ann Hester and Carol Ann Holt. The "German" band was organized in a sponlaneous manner, and by five amateur musicians who play well together. The organization has been non-credit and entirely voluntary on the part of Its.members. However, the fun they've had rehearsing for performances nnd playing (or other people has been pay enough, they feel.

However, because of the heavy school pro- gram for seniors from now until commencement, they will be unable to accept any more engagements. 25 Road Contracts Offered for Bids LITTLE ROCK The Highway Commission Is offering 25 road construction jobs for contract bids on The Highway Department yesterday advertised for bids on six more projects.
