g A t W. Although the Harbor Jazz band has only been in existence for 5 years, it has quickly grown in prominence. The band was organized 5 years ago when Earle Heusinger took over as director. The band usually plays at elementary and Jr. High schools for the students and faculty. They also play at dinner dances, carnivals. and school concerts. Annually, a jazz festival is held when Ashtabula's, St John's, and Harbor's jazz bands get to- gether and each perform. The all city band, a combination of select players of each band, perform at the end of the evening. But this year there was a creditted addition on the program-the Youngstown State University Stage Band performed and gave clinics to each section of the band. Drum roll please. Rachell Ridell keeps the beat while fellow drummer, Mike Hanson, enjoys the music. Stage t band keeps busy! ! The band practices two days a week after school at Kaleva Hall for about an hour. They raise their money from dona- tions given for their performances. Even though the band is a lot of work and dedication the participants enjoy it for various reasons. For example, Art Brace said, t'l like jazz band because it is less formal and a lot of fun. Scott Benett has similar feelings, he said, hJazz band is a lot less formal than regular band so that you realty accomplish more. But Chris Music has different reasons, he feels, Jazz band is a lot of fun. I enjoy being in the stage band because it gives me a chance to play my favorite kind of music with a good group of people.
