I Music and art broaden students’ scopes Whether playing a brisk march or a soft flowing suite, the band functions as a group. The class time is spent on sight reading new music and polishing music already learned. During concert and marching season many extra prac- tices are called and always needed At football games or concerts, - the band provides the setting: A fight song for the big game or a quiet escape through a summer concert. 9 118

I Many who are not associated with the Sylvan Hills choral de- partment may have wondered, What is all the yelling about dur- ing fourth period? Bob Taylor, the director, is what all the yelling is about. Back in the far reaches of the school, Mr. Taylor holds drill for his fourth period charges, the A Cappella Choir. Mr. Taylor is very dedicated to his work and de- mands the best from his choirs, especially from the A Cappella. Perfection is the goal that is sought daily upon the choir risers. Repetition, the order-of-the-day for any director, often seems tire- some but the boredom is partially relieved by Mr. Taylor's long hairs and their associates. OPPOSITE LEFT: Many times it takes the hand of experience to get the job done. Students seem to think Mrs. Chandler's fingers pos- sess a type of magic they a 11 desire. LEFT: Coveting a tradition of pro- ducing excellent choirs. Mr. Tay- lor- keeps striving for improvement. OPPOSITE BELOW: A band direc- tor must be part of the piece he is leading. Mr. Burgett gets into the mood as his student instrumentalists play a soothing tune. MRS. LORETTA CHANDLER: ART 1 and 11. MR. BOB TAYLOR: Choir 119
