of are clapping together, adding
75 to the applause for this ex-
cellent group.
.11 The break didn't seem very
long,• but now the curtain on
e stage is opening to reveal the
s Lambton-Kent Choraliers from
Dresden.

Doug Bundy, master
ceremonies for 1VIusic Night
had stopped speaking.
When the music did swe
again, I entered as the GDC
Concert Band under' th
direction of Al Mullin wa
performing.
I found a seat without an
trouble. Too bad, 'Thought. To
bad that more people aren't
here to seeand to hear these
young people play and sing.
The GDCt band has improved
tremendously the last , two
years. Of course; music is a
credit course now at GDCI - a
'far cry from several years ago
when a devoted Charles
-Kalbfleisch conducted the
GDCI band as an extra-
curricular activity.
Now the kids are playing The
Fool on the Hill, a Beatles'
favorite. Tom McGill wrotelhe
percussion section for this
particular rendition - the most
interesting collection of sounds.
Each rhythm instrument is
playing a distinctive part -
musical too! Young McGill is
certainly adept with the drum
sticks.
(By the way, the GDCI band
performed this same number at
Monday morning's awards
assembly. Many necks craned
and many eyes strained to see
Tom ' McGill pound out a
thoroughly excellent drum solo,
at the ,end of which the student
body applauded loudly as the
band'picked up the melody to
its conclusion),.
On stage now is a choir from
Central Huron Secondary
School under the direction of
Lois Legg, a first year teacher.
She's small but she has that
,as, a choir? Yes, there's the
guitars, drums, piano and
organ. Backup for a chair of
about 25 smiling, eager faces.
What's this? Sweet Gyp-sy
Rose? And, what a version.
Look at the leader, Dave Libby.
He's 'really in motion. Look at
the kids - enthusiasm plus. And
listen. It's really the bump and
'grind rhythm ...of the red hot
mam era. Wow!.
A number from the rock
opera Tommy. Black and
white, a 'kind of,calypsobeat
number deploring racism. And
finally, Day by Day, a
prayerful , up -beat song im-
ploring God to keep them close
to Him.
And now the final performing
group. Itis the. Montcalni•
Secondary School Band from
London. They're filing in now
so many of them. So quickly, so
quietly, so efficiently for a big.
band of 70 pieces. They take
their places and fill up"all the"
floor spade between the stage
and the audience.
; Their. -leader, Bill Bettger, ,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Bettger, Goderich mounts the
podium. 4 hush falls over 'the
,band. Mr, Bettger raises the -
baton; there's- an instant and
unison readiness reflected iii
the entire 'band. •
"Mass" was one number fhat
1
thrilled me to the toes. From
the apening bells to the last
"amen" it was absolutely
enthralling. The crash of
symbols, the roll of the drums,
the brass, the' woodwinds - so
moving.
I had an appointment at 10. I
got up. to leave to the strains of
We've Only Just Begun by Bill
Bettger and his band. But is
seemed so fitting.
The whole story last Thur-
sday night at GDCI was the
kids - those beautifully wild,
talented kids who really are
MI beginning to learn their
worth and their potential. To
think that now, as well as
reading, `riting `rithmetic they
can now.leTarn the lasting joys
'of participatiOn in a musical
effort is indeed promise that
we're only- just beginning to
understand what education is
really all about.
