The band also performed away from the home field. They were invited to perform at the U. of D. Homecoming game, where they received the Mayoras trophy and the title of All-City Champs.

The concert starts in three minutesln Frantic cries such as this were heard as band members finished the last, hectic pre-concert preparations. But the audience never noticed that preparations had been anything less than perfect. Instruments were found, music was in place, and final performances always ran smoothly from the audience's point of view. A highlight of the concert season was the November Pop Concert. Familiar sounds of songs such as Cherish,,, Good Morning Starshinef' and t'Let the Sun Shine In were heard throughout the Stevenson gym and halls. As the concert season drew to a close, the band mem- bers could look back and see that the frantic moments of panic were far overshadowed by satisfying results, -i V . :LZ . ,- . , . l'1i fsijgy ' kamp, David Palmieri, Paul Basha, Becki Fairman.-THIRD ROW?
