Seniors Trish Jones and Derek Jackson attack the streets of Chicago. The Buffalo Symphonic Band was one of four high school bands in the nation chosen by tape audition to play for the 37th Annual Mid-West National Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago from December 13 to December 18. Their playing before this prestigious group was outstanding and brought the audience to its feet in a standing ovation even before the conductor, Mr. Steve Peterson, could turn around. No other band at the clinic received such an immediate standing ovation. Band members spent the week practicing for their concert and sightseeing in cold, windy Chicago. They made many new friends and enjoyed a musical learning experience they will probably never be able to duplicate the rest of their lives. Senior Vernon Richardson responds happily and readily to questions about the Buff Band’s performance from two coeds from Evanston. Indiana. The Chicago skyline became a familiar sight to t Tempe High Band. It will always bring back memories snowy days and sub zero nights. 30 - Student Life
