Hi-Y, led the group in stating
the purpose of the Y Clubs. Then
the Hi-Y platform and the Tri-

Best to the Master,” which set
the mood for the service.

ture 1812”, originally written
for orchestra and military band
assisted by cannon and bells for
its dramatic ending. This num
ber win be a highlight of the
evening and is definitely the most
ambitious undertaking ever by the
Blue Rambler’s, requiring great
skill and effort by each perfor
mer.
For their third number a ch
ange of pace is in order as they
perform an original band work by
Hugh Stuart called simply
“Lemon Merengue”. This work
is very light and is built around
a Latin America anthem.
The next number should prove
a treat for both the audience and
band, as Dr. John Corina from
the music department of The
University of Georgia will direct
his own composition “Suite For
Band”. This will be the first
public performance of this work.
Following this will be a well
known work, “First Suite in Eb”,
by Holst.
The band will conclude the pro
gram with what is perhaps the
best music written for a Broad
way Musical in recent years,
Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side
Story.”
A highlight of the program to
night will be the presentation of
the Sousa Award, Rookie of the
Year Award and the achievement
certificates, hi addition to these
awards several of the local clubs
will present scholarships to some
of the band members to aid them
in attending the Georgia Iflgh
