Students who wanted to enroll in the jazz ensemble had to go for an audition during the spring. The course is taken during 4th period, in which the students meet in the band room to practice and recreate the modern music styles they use during their talists 70 Actlvltles concerts. Mr. Ferrara, the advisor, has been teaching the jazz ensemble of Sahuaro for three years now and we hope he will continue the tradition of excellence for the years to come. Our jazz ensemble in- cludes a trememdous brass and percussion sec- tion, which is assisted by a bass feature that makes the music seem like perfect harmony. - H. Adaire S Fl. Adams, A. Barsotti, B.

But for the students, there was little or no sing- ing experience required. During the year they were enrolled in mixed choir they learned the basic fun- damentals of vocal produc- tion and some mixed chorus literature. To con- tinue singing forthe years 53 ahead of them, the students had to learn how to read music and the various vocal pitches. Throughout the year they held a number of concerts and did a few perfor- mances for the public. Mr. Ashcraft is the ad- visor of this young talented group and has been for several years. He has done a terrific job with the mixed choir and appreciated all of their cooperation. - H. Adaire Jazz BandlMixed Choir LIVE IT UP!
