For many reasons Foothill had a music department to be proud of. It was the only school in our area sup- porting four bands, including an in- vitational symphonic band and a com- plete orchestra, Each band gave at least four public performances during the year, the first of which were giv- en just before Christmas. Admission fees went for music scholarships to Brigham Young University summer music camp, Pictured at right, Mr. DeJarnette directs Concert Orchesta which includes nearly fifty playing members. fBelow rightj Laura Stauffer concentrates on perfection while performing with Symphonic Band, Practice is the backbone of a good performance Pictured above Terry Sullivan of Concert Band buzzes a high note
