Blast From The Past!

Recognise anyone? 

 

Tom Neuenschwander sent us this photo of the 1968 Norwell Marching Band.  He advises the photo was taken the day before the present Norwell High School building officially opened its doors in the fall of 1968.   

 

The band was under the direction of the late Gary Link. It won many first places in the fall 1968 competitions, including the Bluffton Street Fair Band Contest.

 

Leading the band were Drum Major Duane Smith and Head twirlet Cheryl (Hiday) Martz, and behind them were seven Herald Trumpets. 

 

Tom advises that when the band started playing at the Bluffton Regional Center, it could be heard out at Dustman Road. 

 

Thanks to Tom for the photo and information.    

Norwell Show Choir's "Breakfast With Santa" Set For Dec. 4

(Note: I will be re-advertising this closer to the date - this is just a "heads-up" for now)

Norwell High School Show Choirs and Ossian Elementary school will join forces Saturday, Dec. 4, to bring “Breakfast with Santa” to the elementary school cafeteria. 

 

The breakfast, which will be held from 9 to 11 a.m.,  will provide the opportunity to visit with Santa and for children to take their pictures with him.

 

The menu will include biscuits and gravy, hash browns, smoky links, cereal, donuts, dutch crunch dessert, coffee, milk and juice.

 

There is a $5 per person charge, however infants under the age of six months and accompanied by paying family members will be free. Pictures taken with Santa are included in the cost. 

 

Children can also visit the Little Elves’ Store where they can shop for gifts for  family members. Santa’s helpers will be available to assist children with their gift choices and wrapping. Most gifts are $2.

 

Money raised from the event will help towards the costs of the show choir program.
