STAGE BAND, ORCHESTRA Extra rehearsals occupy orchestra Love of jazz rather than grades attrac- ted the members of the Sahuaro Stage Band. The stage band, like many other extra-curricular activities, gave no credit to the participants. Mr. Carlyle Webb, the director, chose the music performed by the band. Ra- ther than the instruments limiting the type of music, Mr. Webb felt that the music limited the types of instruments used. Because they were the best the school had to offer, many stage band members were called upon to compose solos. Stage band was formed to further devel- ope skills in the music world by expose- ure to its literature and the differ- ent styles. Activities this year included the Christmas, Fall and Fine Arts Concerts. 150 ORGANIZATIONS Bottom Row: Richard Jones, Steve Jensen. Clague Van Slyke, Charles Funderburg, Peggy Hertel, Dan Jacobs.

When we went to a concert and heard the Sahuaro Orchestra, it appeared as though they had evolved out of no- where-fully trained. Orchestra was a class. Everyone knew that. What most people didn't realize was how much work went into the con- cert's preparation. Class hours, plus homework and after school rehearsals occupied much of the student's time. Preparing for a concert was really a secondary purpose for the members. Mr. Carlyle Webb, director of the orchestra believed that each student was learning a skill that would be useful for his entire life. The student also learned to feel and experience the music he played and heard. The orchestra consisted mainly of string instruments with some wind and percussion filling it out to form a well rounded group. l l ABOVE: Making music is tiring work, so metimes Richard Jones can't help but take five on the tympani. l MIDDLE: ORCHESTRA OFFICERS: Karen Benson fSecretary-Treasurerj, Pam Niederkorn fLibrarianJ, Ernest Molina fiiquipmentj, Dan Blanco CPresidentJ, review a score. l FAR LEFT: First cornetest Randy Deeming solos on the Star Spangled Banner at a Sahuaro basketball game.
