Fourth and fifth graders broadcast from Ann Arbor over WPAG
Fifteen students traveled by three cars to Ann Arbor April 8 to air a fifteen minute program. Gerald Miller and Glenn Hagan contributed cars, and the group thanked them. The program featured a clarinet solo, a piano solo, and a Pan American Day play, followed by the Star Spangled Banner and the Pledge to the Flag. The announcer was Glenn Hagan. The class invited fifth and sixth graders to listen in their room and hopes to improve future performances with more instruments and uniforms for the Drum Corps whose size has grown to thirty.
