College Band
Clarence Kriesa, Director
The St. Ambrose College Band, under the
direction of Clarence Kriesa, has grown in the
past two years to a fully equipped, well-trained
organization of 60 instruments. The spring
concert tour of the Band has spread its
popularity throughout several midwestern high
schools and serves as a good advertisement
of the fine training in music to be obtained at
St. Ambrose.
In addition to the various concerts, the Band
participates in the two main musical events
that are produced annually by St. Ambrose
and Marycrest—The Christmas Festival and
the Spring Festival. Also on the Band's regular
year's work are appearances in Diocesan and
State Music Festivals.
The colorful marching formations of the Band
have helped to arouse fine school spirit at
athletic contests, particularly during the football season. As a marching unit, the Band is
led by Drum Major Don Wooten.
