For many, it began as early as the fourth grade- those morning string classes which squeaked and twanged their way through endless introductory excercises. In those days, the class period was divided into two equal halves; time spent on tuning obstinate instruments and time spent on actually trying to produce listenable music. For the select few who were able to stick it out, high school brought with it the opportunity for advance- ment which true musicians so highly prized. For those students whose talent and ambition led them to the top. there was the Symphony Orchestra. Members of the Symphony Orchestra strived for perfection in all they attemp- ted, from their December perfor- mance of Handel’s Messiah, to their house-to-house delivery of Christmas caroles, complete with a costumed string quartet. Many members went even further, achieving places on the regional and all-state orchestras, a high honor. With every note they played, the joy of music was expressed, reaching out to the minds and hearts of all who listened. In preparation lor the holiday season, Ann Yanoshik rehearses We Wish Merry Christmas . You Lisa Hastey works diligently to perfect Gloria for their Christmas quartet.

The sixty member intermediate group per- formed in three major shows and many competitions throughout the year. The first of these shows was the Winter Concert held on December 16 in the Little Theater. Songs played were ‘‘Do You Hear What I Hear? and A Merry Christmas Medley.” March brought the Festival Concert which proved to be a success. Selections played included Little Animal Suite,” “Royal Celebration, and Royal Pagean- try. Filling in the gap between the March show and the Spring Con- cert were numerous VBODA Festivals, where the band com- peted against other area bands. These competions required many hours of rehearsal at school and at home also. Finally the Spring Con- cert arrived, signaling the end of the year.Their last performance reflected a year of practice and meant a relief from a hectic schedule. 312 u.s.o.
