THE SCHOOL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA is an organization of fifty to seventy-five pieces, open without charge to all students of orchestral instruments. All orchestral instrument students are required to play in the orchestra as soon as they show themselves capable of reading orchestral scores. The orchestra is under the direction of a man of long experience as a teacher of violin and conductor of orchestras, with wide experience in orchestral activities. A glance at the programs outlined below for the season 1927-'28 will give an idea of the high grade of musical compositions studied and produced by the orchestra each year.

Symphony, No. 4

It is the object of the BAND ENSEMBLE to give thorough routine training to students of all band instruments.
Page Thirty-five
T H E U N I V E R S I T Y S C H O O L O F M U S I C This is an experience without which no student may consider his preparation for band experience complete. Regardless of the number of private lessons and technical instruction a student may have on his chosen instrument, he must come under the conditions of the actual ensemble in order to gain the proper poise for this type of playing.
During the past year, the band ensemble group has studied, among others the following compositions:
Overture to "Egmont"
Beethoven
Overture "Poet and Peasant
Suppe
Overture "Il Guarney"
Gomez
Overture "Jolly Robbers"
Suppe
Overture "Beautiful Galatea "
Suppe
Selection "Il Trovatore"
Verdi
Selection "Carmen "
Bizet
THE BRASS CHOIR is another form of ensemble for the benefit of the more advanced players of the brass instruments. Not only does it offer a most desirable school of ensemble routine, but it also introduces the student to some of the finer possibilities of the brass group of instruments. Entrance to the Brass Choir is upon examination and the membership is limited to twenty. Special arrangements of the classics only are studied in this class.
FRATERNITIES AND SORORITES (sic). Phi Mu Alpha (Sinfonia) Upsilon chapter, is sponsored by The University School of Music and all of the men students in music are eligible to membership in this fraternity. None but those of high character above the average in music ability can hope to be invited to membership, but the earnest, hardworking, well equipped man seriously studying music, will, in all probability, be invited to be initiated into the organization.
Sigma Alpha Iota is a professional musical sorority. The Kappa chapter is located at The University School of Music. It is a national organization. It admits young women of high ideals and marked musical ability from the student body of the School.

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y S C H O O L O F M U S I C Mu Phi Epsilon is a national honorary sorority. The Mu Gamma chapter is located in The University School of Music. Young women of junior standing, high ideals and marked musical ability are eligible to membership, as well as certain professional musicians who are invited to join the organization.
Pi Kappa Lambda is an honorary musical fraternity. Only one-fourth of the graduating class of each year is eligible to membership in this fraternity, and it is considered one of the highest honors that can be conferred on a graduate to be invited to membership in this honorary musical fraternity.
The MacDowell Club is a local non-secret organization which was organized in honor of Edward MacDowell, the great American composer and pianist. The organization i's very active and carries out a more or less definitely planned program each year, and contributes annually to the MaeDowell Fund at Peterboro, N. H.

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y S C H O O L O F M U S I C Scores of students sing for radio programs and scarcely a night during the radio season but that one or more students are engaged to sing for commercial or educational organizations, who engage the broadcasting hours of some local broadcasting station or stations in other cities.
Students play and sing in local orchestras and chorus groups for theatres and churches.
There is scarcely a chorus choir in the city that is not largely made up of music students, many of whom appear for experience and some are paid as soloists in quartets and choirs.
Our Graduates It would be quite impossible to enumerate the places throughout the country where the graduates of The Univiersity School of Music are occupying prominent musical positions. They are teachers in conservatories and in departments of music in colleges; they are soloists in concert groups; they direct and supervise the music in hundreds of cities and towns and many of them have risen to places of fame as concert artists.
The graduates of The University School of Music are uniformly successful, which fact is due to the superior training which they receive throughout their musical course. They not only have technical foundation, but sufficient experience along with their work as students to give them case and command when they get into responsible positions as teachers and performers.
