No Strings Attached he orchestra consisted of twelve violins, three violas, six cellos, and a piano. Most of the students enjoyed playing an instrument mainly because it was a way to earn a scholarship for college. Norman Clark was the conductor of the Santa Rita Orchestra last year. The orchestra consisted of twenty-two hard- working, talented musicians, most of them returning from the year before. When asked why he wanted to become a high school conductor, Clark stated, The main reason is the enjoy- ment of working with young musi- cians. He also felt it was very rewar- ding to see their daily improvement Last year the orchestra played many types of music and participated in many activities The Area Festival Solo and Ensemble All State and performing at elementary schools all helped to broaden the students' musical interests. The biggest activity for Orchestra was playing at Northern Arizona University for graduation. The musi- cians earned money for this special event by participating in various fund raisers. The main goal of the Orchestra, ac- cording to Clark, was to attain good musicianship and to learn the most they could about their particular instrument. Exploring different types of music was Carol Bernardo's main goal. Eight year violinist, Beth Danheim stated, I like playing the violin because it relaxes me and I can express myself through music She also felt it was something different Not everyone could le irn to play and stick with it she said ORCHESTRA 191 N..
