Veres was well respected by his and looked upon as a father figure , stated Kevin The admiration and affection felt for Veres by his brought about the name King V . Freshman David Montana admitted that band was tough, but bis overall opinion was that, Band's great! res hope-d the band members would leave Santa Rita as better izens and that they would have a different outlook on life and ide in themselves, he felt if he accomplished this his whole ef- ts would be worthwhile. Last years officers were: Holly lstead, President, Nancy Berlowe, Vice-President, Kerry Secretary and David Adams, Drum Major. To become the major, David submitted his name and wrote a few sentences why he wanted the position. Veres wanted a drum ma- who was a good leader, was respected by others, and was a musician. 5?

Veres felt that last years band was excellent , and that the over-all performance was higher than previous years, mainly because he had increased the requirements for membership. Veres was busy with several other musical groups both direc- ting and playing the clarinet. I'd be a stale person ifI weren't in- volved in outside activities. Plus it makes me a better director, Veres commented. He hoped the members would remember the tremendous pride in taking the field, and the excitement of a great performance.

utual feeling among the 22 seniors in the Golden Eagle Marching and Symphonic Band was that of respect for their director Laszlo Veres. Not only did a person respect him, he respected you back, stated David Adams, trombone player and drum major. Debbie Patton felt that band was a big family and he was the father. Most Seniors had been in band three to four years and had devoted an average of 760 hours to it. If a person wants to be a part of a group they have to be willing to give some of their time, ex- plained Patton, clarinet player. Band was the center of it all, for Tom Szlachta, a trumpet player who had been in band all SeniorJ leave with a Jenfe of accomplitlzment, four years. When asked how being in band affected his life while attending Santa Rita Kevin Stockdale said it gave him a sense of accomplishment. Like any organization, band made the years in school more in- teresting and exciting for many seniors and as Scott Tarran saw it, band made me more spirited, without it I would have been bored. Most seniors seemed to think they would continue in a musical career or at least continue playing because they had worked hard to reach their status and would hate to see their achievements 'go down the drain'. The events which band members were involved in ranged from Pep Assemblies to Symphonic Concerts. Scott felt that in band, everything he did made a significant difference in his high school years at Santa Rita. ff A Flutist Nancy Berlow displays the A proper playing position for the flute.
