J llllll ll Five Students From DHS To See Lights Qt Montreal An added incentive to this year's students who qualified for all-state was the fact that this yearis first all-state band was to o Mo ' t ntreal, Canada, and spend one full week touring and march in the International Lions Club Conven- Parade. Five students qualified to go. They were Julia Dunn, Leslie Jones, John Neumeier, Gary Smith, and Mike Whorton. Julia Dunn made Russellville High School history, for she was the first clarinetest ever from Russellville to make first band first chair. Tommy Steffy and Kevin Price made All-State Orchestra. Excitement, joy, and sorrow were reflected in the hearts of all-staters because of' some who thought others were better tha'n they, but the honor was something to remember.

Co For Best Q5 Earn ltl Go for one goal at a time was what all- regional personnel told themselves as they prepared for all-region. Many hours were spent on developing the right techniques for each of the pieces they were supposed to play. At region tryouts, band members were told in advance what music was supposed to be played, and also the major and minor scales. To band members, it must have taken at least three or four years before the results were posted. At region, students met new friends as well as old ones. ii, l x r , . I I ' 'il,,,fx df? P1 .

Smaller Choir, But Better ln Blending D espite a smaller number, this yearls choir was capable of having a blend that no other choir before them has ever had. Many long hours were spent on trying to make a decent sound. Frustration and temperament showed up more than anyone would like to admit. Feelings were hurt, but not that bad. There were problems at first, but as the year progressed, all difficulties went by the wayside, and the choir worked hard to achieve higher goals. Maybe the old saying Good things come in smaller packages is true.
