PERFORMING ARTS When not busy expressing his emotions this year by protesting and picketing, the Penn stu dent had the opportunity to express himself by participating in any one of the large number of progressive, active, and expanding organizations which comprise the performing arts. Guaranteed a large receptive audience, the musicians and actors presented the opinions o f their favorite causes: Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Bruce Mont gomery, Shakespeare, “Red and Blue,” Mahler, “All’s Fair,!” Chaucer, jazz, Verdi, Herb Alpert, “Drink a Highball,” Stravinsky, Dovetail Over ture, “Anchor’s Away,” and of course, “Why Me?” Whatever their causes, the vocalists, in strumentalists, and thespians performed ex cellently and reached new heights of artistic success.

One of the most active organiza tions on campus, the University of Pennsylvania Band, began its year early in September at band camp in the Poconos where pregame and half-time drills were perfected. As the spark of campus spirit, the eighty musician band was kept busy at pep rallies and football games, while taking great pride in the quality of its performance. This year the Band was honored with an invitation to lead New York’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the acceptance of sev eral of its members into the Penn sylvania Intercollegiate Band.

The concert band presented three concerts on campus during the year. In addi tion to these performances, the Band spent its semester break tour ing the nation, carrying the Uni versity’s name to six southern states. To complement the Marching, Concert, and Pep Bands, several smaller groups have evolved: the “Top Brass,” the Brass Choir, the Stage Band, and the German Band.

Dennis Rittenhouse. This last year, the group celebrated its tenth anniversary at a formal banquet.

Still another sign of growth was the establish ment of the Penndings, a co-educational mixture of members of both the Glee Club and the Pennsyngers.
