Music, flags, halftime shows, produces 'The Prospectus Band' Boom goes the bass drum and the 1978 Prospector Band marches out on the foot- ball field. You've come a long way band from 1963 and 15 members to 1978 with a grand total of 70 members. With hope they will reach their goal of 100 to 120 members in 1979. Not only more members but facilities have and are changing. In 1979 there will be a big new band room. costing over S200,000 plus colorful new band uniforms. The band room is just getting too small for both members and all of the equipment, said Mr. Eugene Anderson, band director. Mr. Anderson has designed the struc- ture for the building. This facility will include a library, director's office, instru- ment storage room instrument repair room, and a uniform storage room. mak- ing a total of five rooms some of which will be sound proof for individual prac- tices. Officers of this organization are Presi- dent Sally Roberts, Vice President Janet Bennett, Secretary Robin Roberts, Senior representative John Taraborelli, Junior representative Keith Petticrew, Sopho- more representative Sally Bennett, and Freshman representative Kim Diulus. Mr. Anderson has been a band director for four years. He plays every instrument to an extent, but he specializes in brass and percussion. But all in all the band students enjoy music, the trips, the awards, and working together as a group, said Mr. Anderson. lj BAND TEACHES A person patience and increases your perseverance to achieve your goals. lt also gives a person a chance to gain more confidence in themselves. Band is a group activity as well as a very individual one said Cindy Kalinski. junior who plays the flute. 23 Chuck Parkhurst, sophomore, joined Band because it is exciting and competitive. He plays trumpet and currently eighth chair. 33 THE MAIN GOAL of Jazz Band is to educate the students in the art of jazz music. said Mr. Eugene Anderson. Band director. Take 56 Points of View

We've got about I5 boys but we could use some more of them, said Mr. Richard Nelson, chorus teacher. The group contains 57 members and from that 40 bright young faces appear. Latest fashions were the topic this year for the chorus group. Boys will wear gold blazers as before, but the girls received two outfits. Black. formal dresses were the usual, but the group decided to go modern with a long skirt and blouse. The skirt is white with a black and gold stripe design which will be worn with a white long sleeve blouse. Concerts started in December when the Prospector Chorus performed a Christmas special. When May rolled around. they had annual spring Pop Concert. Music festivals were planned at the beginning of the year and the chorus group plans to visit the U of A in Tucson and NAU in Flagstaff.
