Toot in' Time My goal is to strive for excellence. In doing so I have found that everything else pretty much falls in place, Mr. Dwight Beckham, music department head, said. Instrumental music was basically divided into three concert bands: Orchestra, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble. These groups practiced daily as they rehears- ed for concerts and prepared for contests. Orchestra included all the string players enrolled in band. According to Mr. Gerald Kiger, Orchestra instruc- tor, Some type of music will benefit every student and the instrumental music program provides an outlet for musicians in high school to perform and is important training for young musicians. l N 4 S' Kelly 'Mathews Symphonic Band is the largest group and worked to- ward performance by improving balance in instrumenta- tion and continuing their progress in the performing .

I forming ensemble which can play a variety of significant works. Wind Ensemble, directed by Mr. Beckham, is basical- ly a band that works on the concept of one player on a part. This enables the group to play with a level of pre- cision, balance and intonation rarely attained in a larger group. QI. I 'il . I. I A. Leal, G. Albin, E. Rodriguez, J. Jost, R. Musser.

Francis Toews, marching and stage band director. There are 21 people in Stage Band. They spend six to eight weeks preparing for a concert. We play jazz, rock and blues. The blues can either be jazz or rock, added Toews. Stage Band was a guest band at the Bethel Fall Jazz Concert. This was a first for the Stage Band. Some select members from the Stage Band part- icipated in the AVL Honor Stage Band. Newton hosted this event on March 9. The lVlarching Band is striving for a slow, steady improvement, said Toews. The Marching Band, along with 69 other bands from Kansas and Missouri, performed during the halftime-in the KU-Louisville football game. They also marched in a parade in downtown Lawrence. The 95 band members spend almost two weeks 75 7 2 putting together a halftime show, with three prac- tices out on the football field at Athletic Stadium. The lVlarching Band is continuing to improve the quality of the band, commented Toews. Kelly Mathews 9 2 Z 3 3 m 5' 0 E Ui I' I' Kelly Mathews . jill R zen, junior. 3.
