The Coachman
|
Amateur act, “The Coachmen”, was made up of three Lowell High School students, Jim VandenHout, Gene Walters, and Richard Ward. They sang the Kingston Trio's latest hit "The M. T. A." and were chosen to perform for Monday night's Showboat performance.

The Shilos
|
The Shilo’s, began by winning a high school talent show exchange program. This earned them a spot on a local morning TV show. This program was designed for students and viewed on televisions brought in by teachers. They became a popular band fine tuning their performances at other area schools, local events, pubs, private celebrations and dinner parties.
With a love for folk music, the trio of Jerry Adams, Mike and Jim Powers learned songs by The Christy Minstrels, The Brothers Four, The Highwaymen, The Kingston Trio, and Peter Paul and Mary during the 1961-1962 School year. Not only did the young teenagers teach themselves to play instruments with Jerry and Jim on the guitar and Mike playing an upright bass, but they also taught themselves to sing, developing tight harmonies. Jerry made a career in music as a member of Stillwater...Alive & Well and The Adams Family |
