cent of the audience consisted of faculty members and townspeople it is certainly too bad that prof schempf and the band members put in many hours of rehearsal time each week and received such pitiful support from students perhaps we should employ elvis presley the lehigh band conducted by prof william h schempf presented its annual winter concert sunday this concert was particularly enjoyable as prof schempf omitted large chunks of contem porary music which has not been well received at lehigh opening with the famous fire works music by handel the band got things off to a rousing start the amusing little suite from martinu's comedy on the bridge followed star of the afternoon was trumpet soloist sidney luckenbach 60 who played flawlessly in john hartmann's diffcult facilita student leader curtis shollen berger 58 led the band in the glory march after which schempf returned to finish part one with the marche troyerme by berlioz an encore was definitely in order and the brown &
