MP5 PV choir sings in right key Concert band entertained Patriot fans during halftime with marching and during games with music. But, band was not only limited to support- ing the team. Most members of concert band had been students of music for many years. High school was the payoff for them. Concerts during Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies, as well as learning to play jazz in stage band were part of their reward. Sherry Williams participated in both concert band and beginning or cadet band. In addition to being a member of two bands, Sherry was also learning her second instrument. I have always wanted to get into music, Sherry said, and when I Music Education ChoirlMadrigalslEnsemble decide to get involved in a project I usually dive in head first. Choral music students were often members of more than one group, being in Choir and either Madrigals or Girls' Ensemble. Some belonged to the band, too. Although this depart- ment changed directors in mid-year, the enthusiasm never lagged. For those students who could not or did not want performances, there was a music survey course. This course, was taught by Mrs. Julie Morgan and later by Richard Hardin, her replace- ment. They showed students various styles of music and helped each student learn to recognize variations which might be found within each style. Working together. Members of the string sextet work together to achieve perfection. Members included Lisa Olsen, Monty Phll- lips, Devarati Rastogi, Karen Churchill, Stephanie Jackson and Julie Swaty. Stealing the stage. Lisa Olsen takes over at the Christmas assembly where the string section performed.
