The Beat Goes On W ' WMTe have fun and go places, explained Susie Steward. We ' re like big family, said Amy Vail. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but it ' s worth it, added Rachael Kent. All of these students were members of the marching band and drill team and they were very enthusiastic in their com- ments about it. This year turned out to be both fun and very rewarding for the band in terms of awards. They consistently placed every time they competed. They played at all of E stanica ' s home and away football games, the Santa Ana Toyland Parade, two USC parades, the Disneyland Holiday Parade and also for President Reagan. In May, they went on tour to Arizona, San Diego and Craig Canyon. Melanie Kandel, drill team captain, was very pleased with this year ' s drill team. Most of the drill team members had attended a summer camp to prac- tice their routines and their hard work paid off. One of the best things about march- ing band and drill team was that you didn ' t have to be an expert music play- er to get in. There ' s no set number of people in the band, explained Quinn Thomas, when you ' re accepted, you ' re also immediately accepted in our family and you ' re not treated like a new person. All people are welcome to join. 1. Drum major, Bryan Gordon, models his new uniform. 2.

A World Of Music W T ' es, I love it. I feel like f I ' m part of a real en- M. semble. It takes a lot of group effort, and it ' s like an art, explained Julie Bronsky when asked if she thought that vo- cal ensemble was fun. Both choirs, vocal ensemble and women ' s choir, were very busy this year. The vocal ensemble per- formed at the Christmas Concert, different Rotary functions, at pri- vate clubs, and had a fund raiser in order to raise money for the vocal ensemble awards banquet. The women ' s choir had concerts at Tewinkle and Estanica. We have a new teacher, so we ' re just starting to build up, stated Chris De- Sandre, referring to the new choir director, Mr. Pitt. Choir members practiced every day and sometimes at home. Sev- eral members took private les- sons. To join the vocal ensemble, students had to have good grades, a good attitude, the ability to read music, a good voice, dedication, and, of course, be chosen from an audition. The Jazz Band was also very ac- tive. We performed at the Costa Mesa Rotary club, Welston Ele- mentary School, went to the reher- sal for Tiutcracker ' , did a winter concert at Estancia, and played at basketball games , said Julie Chen, a member of the jazz band. The band included such instru- ments as the piano, electric piano, saxophone, trombone, guitar, bass guitar, drums and trumpet. Jazz band students were very en- thusiastic and unique individuals. 1 like concert music and it ' s a good experience; 1 also like the competitions , said Irene Liu when asked why she joined Wind Ensemble. This ensemble com- bined such instruments as the flute, clarinet, trombone, saxo- phone. Trench horn, sneer drum, trumpet, baritone bells, and the oboe. And so, it is easy to see that a small world of music exists right here at our school.
