McM Orchestra
McMurry has something new
in the music department this year
the beginning of an orchestra.
Early in September six players
formed the beginning of the Mc-
Murry orchestra. Darla Sudderth
violin; Judy Clark violin; Linda
Parish viola; Joy Causseaux
cello; Anne Anderson flute; and
Jimmy Barros base and piano
were the personnel. There is very
little music written for this com-
bination so Macon Sumcrhn
director has arranged nearly all
of the music the group has used.
During the first semester the
orchestra played for the McMurry
radio program Pow Wow.
The McMurry string quartet
composed of Misses Sudderth
Clark Parish and Causseaux
have played for teas a church
open house a Rainbow Installa-
tion and a church party. To help
the teachers at Locust Elemen-
tary School they gave a demon-
stration and a short program for
jsix classes.
After registration for the spring
semester three more people join-
ed the orchestra Gene Davidson
piano; Emma Hooten violin; and
Joan Barrett French horn. Since
these have joined the group they
have again played for Pow Wow
and have been invited to Albany.
