MO AB TO SUCCESS v-j A V ere Dr. Alwood’s second yk wk period announcements ever V V listened to? If they were, students might have heard him men- tion one of the various awards that the Bruin Music Department received throughout the year. Since there were more students involved in music this year than ever before, it took a lot of ef- fort on everyone’s part to coordinate their musical abilities to perfection. Their efforts, however, were balanced by the rewards of being a top-rated Music Department. Many afterschool rehearsals, as well as home practice, were necessary to perfect every musical production. Every performing group demanded and received the best from all its members. Thus, perfection stayed at the top of everyone's list. As a result, many top honors went to the musical Bruins, making everyone Pro- ud To Be A Bruin. Carol I)eAngelis concentrates on her music dur- ing concert class.

Certainly, Lake Braddock’s Music Department has built the reputation of being the toughest competition in the state. Most of their success has been due to the dedication and hard work of both students and instructors, and it certainly paid off. From the Symphonic Chorale and Swing Singers' top honors at the annual Festival competition to the band’s numerous top awards. Lake Braddock has made itself known to all high schools in Virginia. It is this reputation that will continue to motivate the intermediate choirs and bands to carry on the award winning tradition at Lake Braddock. 18 Academics
