Bands travel to perform San Gorgonio had always excelled in the field of music. The jazz and concert bands were no exception to this tradition of ex- cellence. Led by their director and conduc tor, Mr. Emerson, they both had a very good year. The jazz band consisted of approximately 20 skilled members. They practiced zero period and after school. The band played swing, Latin, rock, and blues. Besides prac- ticing on campus, the band traveled to other performances. The jazz band enjoyed the clinic at Mt. San Antonio college on January. It is always a good experience to attend these clinics, said David Verkest, trumpet player. The concert band had also been an exam- ple of excellence for San G. It had approx- imately 50 musicians. The concert band did a good job in the Southern California District Festival on April 1. Mr. Emerson, band director, taught music for 33 years, and was looking forward to his retirement in June. I ' m going to get in- volved in music. I ' m going to play more, and do some judging in the music field, com- mented Mr. Emerson.
