While most students were still focusing their eyes, these students were wide awake. Bright and early each morning they would play, filling the band room with the sounds of clarinets, cornets, and a host of other instruments. But who were they? They were members of the Wind Ensemble, a talented though little known performing band. The Wind Ensemble was composed of intermediate students who had successfully auditioned for the band the preceding spring. Performances included their winter concert on December 16, their festival concert on March 10, and their spring con- cert on June 2, as well as the all regional band auditions in January and the V.B.O.D.A. band festival in March. Eighteen musicians from the Wind Ensemble made the all regional band, making them the largest group to represent any one school in the region. Through long hours of practice, the Wind Ensem- ble rose to be one of the most outstanding groups in our ex- cellent music department. Music, Drama, and Art 301
