THE MARCH.
There should be music while the pupils are coming upon the stage and leaving. Any spirited march will answer.
Girls enter from right and left sides of stage at the back, eight on each side, and march in single files according to the diagram furnished below.
When they meet at C F, separate and march to L F and R F, then up sides of stage to back, then across back to C B. When they meet at C B, form couples and march in twos forward on centre line. At C F first couple turn to R F, second to L F, third to R F, fourth to L F, etc. March up sides to back, and when couples meet at C B march in fours to C F. First four turn to R F, second four to L F, etc. March up sides to back.
