Mrs. Sharon Darland, directs the choir here at Poudre. She teaches five classes plus one after school jazz group. Mrs. Darland has been teach- ing for 13 years and really enjoys Poudre. She is enjoying her newest group, the Impressions. They're a mixed jazz group, and they are doing a good job. She is also excited about the lmpalaphonics this year, especial- ly with three All-State qualifiers: Tom Lawrie, Melanie Manning, and Merideth Prill - all earned high scores in competition. Mrs. Darland teaches her classes for improvement with the intent of ad- vancement within the choirs, and all through their school careers. All the groups are doing well, and l'm really enjoying the year. Mr. Larry Lashley is the orchestra di- rector here at PHS. He is now in his eighteenth year of teaching and is en- joying his time here. He is currently trying to schedule a chamber orches- tra for selected orchestra members. Mr. Lashley commented that This year's orchestra group is doing very well. They are mature individuals concerned with their music and their group effort. Within the music groups there are several contests, the major contest for orchestra is in the spring. Mr. Lashley finds that he teaches on many differ- ent levels of musical interest and tal- ent. What is his favorite part of teach- ing? The students from my classes who find real enjoyment, and satis- faction from what music offers them. I think that music offers so much to our society that it's a pleasure to see and become a part of people who want to be involved in it.
