And the Beat Goes on Students extended their involvement in music by automatically transferring into concert band after thie completion of marching band. Concert band differed from marching band in many ways. The music played by these students was of a more serious and classical type. Also, many members switched instruments after marching band. Concerts were a major interest of the Music Department. Members presented many performances including the Pops, Winter, and Spring Concerts. Students also participated in NISBOVA contests, the I.U. Tri-State Band, All-City Orches- tra, and basketball band. The Marching Trojans perform their half-time show atthe NISBOVA Marching Contest.

Music: The Universal Language Music is the universal language, as many students of the Chamber Orchestra and Concert Choir soon realized. Instrumentalists of the Chamber Orchestra devoted much of their time to class rehearsals, individual practices, and private lessons. Students concentrated mainly on classical music and, once in a while, a mellow rock tune. Class time was spent rehearsing for the Christmas, Con- certo, and Spring concerts. Members also formed a string quartet consisting of sophomore Tammie Waggoner and sen- iors Pam Riecke, Judy Goshorn, and Wendy Simerman. Those students competed in the NISBOVA string contest at Bishop Luers, receiving an excellent rating. Competing in the soloist category, Tammie Waggoner also received an excellent rating. Sight reading songs from J. S. Bach Chorales was a daily routine performed by the choir members. They also practiced intonation and the techniques of singing, while rehearsing a variety of music for concert performances which included the Christ Child Festival, Christmas, and Spring concerts. The music department may have lost some of its valuable players and vocalists but there were always recruits waiting for a chance to get into the orchestra or choir to better themselves as future vocalists and musicians. ■■ I B m ■ 8 ' ' B P H m..- . 1 JHL i BBk W M W T vHUFviri m W ' ' SBSmmSlmtM RjL) r im iH 1 m kj y Chamber Orchestra: Front — Tammie Waggoner, Pamela Riecke, Vickie Hamm, Sheila McMillen, Mike Scott, Laura Krieg, Teena Bibbo, Carolyn Den- nie, Marta Slagle, Wendy Simerman, Judy Goshorn.
