G.H.S. BA The G.H.S. Band has been very active this year. Before the '82-'83 school year began, the new band director, Mr. Chuck Hazlewood, was meeting with the drummers of the band. Then, on August 10, summer band began. Whereas in years past the band was just a concert band, this year they took on the perspective part of being a marching band as well. When the Kick Off Supper arrived, the band was ready to make their debut, playing at the pep rally. Their first concert of the year was held on August 31. Afterward, the members' families and friends got together for home-made ice cream in the band hall. The Greenwood Marching Band was led onto the field for the first time on September 3, by Drum Major Julie Moellering. It was a pretty eventful season for the band, being rained out at the Wink game, selling calendars, playing at all the football games, and marching at the Oil Show Parade. The trip to Eden is one that will never be forgotten by some band members. It seems that one certain band member accidentally broke a light stick on himself and became the first glow-in-the-dark person. On November 6, the G.H.S. Band ended their marching season by going to their first marching contest at Ratliff Stadium in Odessa. They received a rating of II, which is very commendable for this being their first year to march. All-Region Band tryouts were held on December 11, at Grandfalls. Molly Handley, Jim Lee, Larry Merworth, and Julie Moellering made the band and went on to play at the All-Region Band concert in McCamey, on January 15. The Chritsmas concert was held on December 19. The fifth and sixth grade bands also performed. There was a get-together for the members and their families after the performance. The All-City Band concert was held on February 5. Members of the G.H.S. Band that made this band were: Doug Binnion, J'nan Eason, Hoyt Handley, Leonard May, Tim Russert, and David Wood. On February 26, Solo and Ensemble Contest was held. Larry Merworth Qtrumpetj and Jim Lee ftubaj received I ratings on their Class I so- los. This made them eligible to compete in Austin at the State Competition on May 30. Julie Moellering fflutej received a II rating on her Class I solo, Marilyn Thigpen Cflutej and Pete Wilkinson ftympannij received II ratings on their Class II solos. Mindy Collins fbassoonj received a III rating on her Class II solo. The Clarinet Trio, consisting of Sherry Murray, Carrie Otto, and Cindy Willmon, received a II rating on their Class II trio. Between March 7 and 18, the G.H.S. Band had their major money-making project which was the candy sale. To end the year, the Greenwood Concert Band performed at the Concert and Sight-Reading Contest at Crane on April 27. They received a Division II on Concert and a Division III on their Sight-Reading. Three days later, on April 30, the Band went to the Music Festival at Carlsbad and received a plaque for their Division I rating and also brought home a trophy for being named Best Band in Class. It was altogether a wonderful year for the Band, consisted of 43 seventh graders, 16 eighth graders, 6 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 15 juniors, and 5 seniors. They ended the year with a Spring Concert held on May 17. The Band has come a long way in just one short year since the arrival of Mr. Hazlewood. He is someone that never gives up and he is always there when you need help, advice, or just to sit down and talk. It is very fortunate for the band students that they have Mr. Hazlewood as a teacher.

In September the band marched in the annual Oil Show Parade in Odessa, along with other high school and college bands. A lot of time and hard work has to be put in before any performance. Here, the a band works on music for contest. l28 The band puts in a few last minute preparations before the homecom- ing game. The area between the old gym and the tennis courts served as an excellent place to practice. The fifth and sixth grade bands dressed as pirates during Halloween.
