The auditions consist of playing the major and minor scales, presenting a prepared jazz piece, sight reading, and jazz improvisation. The best all around musicians are selected to the band. Spectrum plays a variety of music to please different audiences. Ballads, jazz, rock and swing are just a few. According to senior Dar- ryl Bostwick, We have about 30-40 charts we have to know, which averages about two or three a week. Basically, they are a very dedicated group of performers. We've got a lot of talent,', Bostwick con- tinues, at least as much as last year. Bostwick credits Spectrums success and popularity partly to director, C.J. Shibly. Hot Gigs! He's very talented, with a lot of years behind him. Shibly played lead trombone with the Glen Miller Orchestra. Spectrum had a very eventful year. Besides the annual school concerts, they performed at the Green Mountain Plaza for Homecoming, participated in the 30 hour music marathon, hosted and performed with Alan Wise, lead trumpet for Maynard Fergusen, played a dance gig at the Fairmont Hotel, played at the Rocky Mountain Jazz Festival, and most im- portantly went on tour to Hawaii over Spring Break. The band held various fund raisers to earn money for the trip. Once there, they partici- pated in a Hawaiian jazz festival, played on the beach, performed at different concert halls, went swimming, snorkeling and sailing - all the basic things one does in Hawaii. Spectrum ended the year by playing at the graduation ceremony held at Red Rock.

Freshmen cheerleaders form a pyramid during home- coming pep assembly. '86 cheerleaders try to get the freshmen class into spirit. Freshmen Give Spirit GMHS' Freshmen cheerleading squad made their class one to be proud of by offer- ing their time and spirit at sporting events. The members of the Freshmen squad for the 1982-1983 school year were, captain - Janel Rohe, Linda Hinkle, Kelly Monahan, Aimee Reinert, and Michelle Abbott. Their summer NCA cheerleading camp, which lasted four days, was at C.U. in Boul- der. Together they practiced cheers and routines to be judged in camp competition. The cheerleaders tried to do as many unique fund raisers as they possibly could to earn back some of the money spent on uni- forms, camp, and other expenses. The ma- jor event that brought the most money was the annual cheerleader sponsored dance. The cheerleaders attended an average of four games a week and had practices on days they didn't cheer. Some of the routine things they also did on the side was to make posters to help raise the spirits of the team and bake cookies or cakes to bring to the games, for the players. The squad got along amazingly well this year. Monica Foreman, sponsor, said, All of the girls this year were really mellow. The Freshmen squad also managed to get ever- ything done without a hassle or arguing. They were kind of ignored though because there are so many squads. Over all they were not a problem. The Freshmen squad get involved in a pep assembly. The youngest cheerleaders start off an assembly with their favorite cheer. Freshmen Cheerleaders - 89
