After marching season was over, some band members took time to practice music for the district's solo and ensemble contest. Students were able to choose from different classes of music, depending upon their ability and the difficulty of the pieces. Solos were done by many students including joselyn Meno and Mike Stockman while ensembles ranged from trios by clarinet players Kristin Lydahl, Ginger Chafin and Annette Birdwell to a forty-eight piece group of Wind Ensemble members. After hours of practice, band members played for judges. Students receiving a division one were given medals. As Tommy Bolin said, 'lPracticing for solo and ensem- ble takes a lot of work, but it's worth it. Renee Jennings added, nThe extra work helps everybody perform better. The awards for their accomplishments were ap- parently appreciated by the participants. PEP RALLIES are hectic for the band as it performs and cheers with the crowd. PRACTICING her solo is Maira Rivera. THE varsity drum section performs at theSpirit Spectacular.

The hours of practice paid off every performance. Maria Velez, a new student on Varsity said, I had to adjust to the different variety of dances, but be- ing an Emerald makes me feel special. Dances were learned during sum- mer band practice. Mrs. Kaye Coachman, the Emerald Sponsor, said, 'IThis year was the first year the Emeralds didn't have to learn dances during football season, but instead, just perfect them.
