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?

Impressive Sound Comes From mall Ensembles As an unsuspecting stranger walked through the halls on a Wednesday after school, his thoughts were dis- turbed by sounds from the band room. Long after most people had gone home, the Stage Band members were practicing for a performance. The practice paid off well, as was evident by their concerts. The Stage Band was a select group that played at dances and assemblies. Their travels took them to such varied places as a March of Dimes benefit and a competition festival at Michigan State. The next afternoon the stranger came back during fifth hour. This time he heard another small instrumental group at Stevenson, which was the String Ensemble. Al- Q though composed of only nine members, the smallness in size in no way hindered the quality of the sound. They worked both with other instruments and on numbers written especially for stringed instruments, such as Holi- day for Strings. Needless to say, the stranger was much impressed by the music he heard on his Visits. No, it wasnlt the North Wind. It was Randy Rgsen playing his saxophone at Stage Band practice. -, v 1-Q. 56 Stage Band
