1: The endless Marching Band. 2: Larry leads the band. Spirits soared at the football games this year as the Alameda High Marching Band provided pulsating beats of music for the cheerleaders and crowds to “get rowdy.” The 47 piece band under the leadership of Larry Huntington worked hard toward creating newer and more interesting rou- tines for half-time entertainment. A fund- raiser was also held by the band mem- bers with the purpose of purchasing new tops for their uniforms. And, as in the past, the band also provided the back- ground music at the student body meet- ings. After football season the musicians pre- pared themselves for the annual Winter and Spring Concerts.

This small group of Alameda High’s finest musicians could be found every morning trudging up the steps in the Fine Arts Building to the music room where they re- hearsed their way through a wide world of contemporary jazz, rock, pop and blues tunes. As senior Mike Grace declared, “It’s pretty fun because you learn how to play different music.” There were many fresh faces in the band this year—the entire saxophone sec- cee verweny tion was new—but a lack of cohesiveness was no problem as everyone learned to work together while expressing their own individuality through their playing. Also, the band members became instructors for a while when they had a student teacher, Dennis Lopes. In his initial on-the-job training assignment, Dennis radiated a lot of energy and said that he “really liked teaching a lot.” 5: The Stage Band rhythm section hums along. 6: The Stage Band cruises to the music. 7: Mr. Vince points to the trouble.
