Evidence of the popularity of
music in the Freeport schools-was
well demonstrated recently when
several hundred of these boys and
girls -.?...including the 300-odd
tonettes, a 120-piece combined
grade school band, an advanced
grade school band and orchestra
gave a concert in the high school
auditorium. Wijh the continuance
of this program; and-the neces^
sary funds to finance it, Freeport\
should have the outstanding
school music groups in at least
the eastern states.
The growth and co-operation
has been 100 percent so far, and

in charge for five years. The
Freeport High School band is con-sidered
one of the finest high
school bands in the eastern area,
and equally proficient on the con-cert'stage
as we)l as the football
field. The Freeport school system
and all the villagers are most
proud of this, their own organiza-tion.
Composed/entirely of regu-larly
enrolled students of high
school, with a willingness to spend
the necessary hours of practice
both in marching and learning to
play their instruments more pro-ficiently;
this' group has been de-veloped-
to- a standard which has
been characterized by Broadway
critics"3s "equal-to many large
university bands." '
