It takes guts to get up in front of the student body and play classical music, but I'm just as proud of playing it as anything else, said junior Todd Samra. Samra was one of the 19 members of the Orchestra Senior Larry Laudig stated, I enjoyed performing because we gave them something that we worked hard on. If they enjoyed it, then we knew that all of our work paid off. The annual Spring and Christmas concerts took place in the auditorium. According to Samra, the Orchestra was a Vx - INTENSE. Freshman Ray Ann Jackson and Stephanie Hart harmonize as they play the same music. SYMPHONIC PLAYERS. Director Julie Mynett teaches important techniques to improve their sound. 1 Orchestra unique class. The Orchestra provided opportunity and experience. Unlike other classes where lectures, tests, and assignments were the focal points, the Orchestra provided an opportunity for the students to play music for a period. Senior Dawn Smith commented, It gave me the chance to relax and do something I was interested in. You could express yourself by playing the music, said concert mistress Julia Hirt, It was a break from normal study classes, but it was still educational. The director, Julie Mynett, was absent on a pregnancy leave early in the year. She retumed to Homestead to teach one classg the Orchestra. She had the will to come out here once a day and teach Orchestra because she loved it, said Samra. Mynett stated, I enjoyed working with young string players and helping them to develop as musicians and people. The young musicians worked at perfecting their music, and they took pride in the fact that they were able to play it well. Hirt said, I liked the music and it sounded good when we played it together. 1 l l F

This was the concert band in action. Concert Band is the group that meets after the marching band season. After winning numerous awards in marching band, the Concert Band also plays at home basketball games. The students joined band for many reasons. Junior Scott Fairchild joined because I liked the instrumental playing and Ilike to jam! Many students take band as a release from the nonnal academic day. While many people expressed few dislikes about band, there were many aspects that members enjoyed. An exciting experience for freshman Debbie Cartwright was leaming at band camp. Junior Dave Young stated, We placed very high in most contests. When students think about future careers, many do not place music at the top of their list. Freshman Mandy Murphy explained, Band is an interesting hobby. She does not plan to start a career in it, however. Fairchild added, I plan to be in a group someday and pursue music at home, but not as a career. On the other hand, Young said he will further his study of music and summed up his thoughts with, I enjoy it! Young also stated that band can help a person grow and prepare for the future. lt develops you because you have to deal with different situations every day, he said. Student teacher Ray Goelz commented, They Cstudentsj can go into a college and play in a community band. They learn to enjoy music after high school. If you're looking for a relaxing class to take that will also prepare you for the future, look at band next year. Fairchild summed it up in saying, I like everything about it. PRACTICE. Sophomore Holly Prior, senior Dane Bode, freshman Mark Braun and senior Steve Counterman work hard at keeping the beat for the band. SKILLED. Junior Kristin Napoletano practices marching and playing while rehearsing a song for competition. Band
