And the band played on...an Ada/ONU tradition

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
ONU band members put on a free concert under pleasant skies on Friday evening at Railroad Depot Park, directed by none other than Ada's own Susie Young, daughter of Linda and Curtis Young.

The band, consisting of seniors and other upperclassmen who are members of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma honoraries, entertained passers-by with several selections.

This is a traditional "give back to the community" event by band members held annually on commencement weekend.

Dr. Charles Bates has been longtime director of University bands here. On this occasion he hands the baton to a student. He directs the ONU marching band, symphonic band, and pep band.
