No Strings Attached Concert Band is an instrumental group composed of thirty-five mem- bers who are mainly freshmen. The group is directed by Mr. Wayne Iiams. The members go into Concert Band after completing the Marching Band season in the fall. This year, there was a change that took place in Concert Band. At the semester change, Concert Band dis- solved, and the members moved into Symphonic Band. This change took place because of the addition of a new Music Theory class. The new combination of Symphonic Band and Concert Band has proven to be an outstanding band made up of sev- eral talented musicians. The band is the largest in school, and their sound is excellent, Amy Gates, Jeremy Hagan, Doug Rothenburg, Mike Ludivig, Eric Janson, Derek Chaney, Luanne Johnson, Eric Jensen, Greg Stephens, Lori Lassiter, George Harper, Mike Peterson, Brett Zachman, Mike Logan, Amy Woolrich, Jennifer Gilbert, Yoko Iwahiro, Jeff Clark, Linda Kassel, Cathy McKown, Dennis Baker, Gary Avendovech, Larissa Casey, Holly Walters, Christi Vickery, Dean Varlair, Frank Lopez, Lisa Higinbotham, David Thede, Ella Schroeder, Candy Rowlett, Sherie Cambell, Susan Bruntzel, Lisa Keachie, .Iudit Gaspar, Cathy Wadsworth. its Concert Band - 103
