Among the award winners were John Collison, Gary Gibson, Stephanie Lisowski and Jill White, all l78. Also, Gibson, Collison, Scott Lee and Bruce Sorrell, both '79, and David Miers, '80, received Outstanding Player Awards at the Central States Jazz En- semble Festival in Hutchinson. Aside from their usual concerts and contests, the Jazz Ensemble performed at Law- rence-Dumont Stadium for the opening Aeros game. The Concert Choir performed tradi- tional Christmas numbers at their an- nual Christmas Concert and were the recipients of new choir robes. Pur- chased partially through funds acquired from the previous year's production of Oliver, the robes were red with white stoles.

104 f Performing Arts Elite Musicians Boost Spirits The Pep Band was perhaps the most active and most visible musical group at school. They performed at all the pep assemblies and their spirited notes add- ed excitement to both the boys' and girls, varsity basketball games. The twenty-eight member group also per- formed at the Wichita State-Marquette basketball game and at a Kansas New- man game. The band was a particularly dedi- cated group of students as they were strictly volunteers. No credit was given for it. While usually under the direction of Mr. Howard Pitler, Pep Band also served under students Gary Gibson and Bert Kendall, both '78, and David Miers, '80. Madrigals were the elite of the vocal music groups and served as a public relations group, according to Director Wayne Holmstrom. They sang for church groups and community organi- zations such as the Sedgwick County Medical Society. When they go out into the community, they represent Heights and high school students in general. They have to be pretty sharp students and have a good sense of re- sponsibilityj, concluded Holmstrom. All of the members had to audition for the group and most of them were sen- iors with some previous experience in choral performances.
