New Director Sets Musical Plans
SMITHVILLE - New
Smithville High School
Band Director Joe Du-
Pas stated Monday that
thus far. after a week of
practice the band has
been having about 30 or
35 show up for practice
with a high of 42 at one
session.
The director said that
he believed he had a lot
a lot of talent to work with
but that the band would
be very voung, with a
number of fresnmen and
sophomores, and that it
was difficult to get very
much accomplished
until he could get the en-
tire band together when
school begins.
DuPas went on to say
that, at first at least, the
band would stick to the
traditional marches such
as "Giant" and "The
Ramsgate March" for
their routines and they
would also stay with trad-
itional formations, doing
six steps for every five
vards. However, DuPas
had plans for doing other
things later in the year
including playing an im-
pressive march - type
arrangement of "The
Battle Hymn of the Re-
public," of which he has
a recording.
The new director stat-
ed that he was primarily
a French horn player in
college but that he also
played the baritone. He
is a graduate of Southwest
Texas State and graduat-
ed from high school in
San Antonio.
He spent two years at
LaGrange as assistant
director before coming
here, and before that,'
spent a year at Pecos and
two years at Donna.
