Here We Go Bandsmen The beginning of March started mu- sical wheels turning in a direction op- posite to the Louisville trip of three years ago. Mr. Meyer announced the band would travel northwest to the Mt. Rushmore Band Festival Days in Rapid City, South Dakota. Fund raising proj- ects included a Pops Concert, selling Trojan booster patches, a spaghetti sup- per, and sponsership by businesses and individuals. The three days in the the Mt. Rushmore Lighting Ceremony, a mass finale concert, a parade in Rap- id City, a Band Festival Days' Queen Contest, and a Western Night Party. Band members agreed after it was all over that half the fun of the trip was touring the Black Hills and riding the buses to and from Rapid City. While the big trip required extensive time and planning, the Concert Band still worked hard on its actual concert performances. Musical selections ranged from modern Chicago and Superstar to Richard Rogers to resounding Estampie. 1. Pops Concert team ticket captains, Jim Lippincott and Dick Westbrook, proudly dis- play their progress in the Great South Dakota Race. 2.

Reverberations In Music Special music groups tried a few dif- ferent notes and the result was a spon- taneous, hamionic chord of sound and fun for both the students and the au- dience. Fall brought new ideas trans- formed into action onto the marching field. Mr. Meyer, Mr. Davoux, drum- major Monty Lee, and other senior mem- bers came up with original maneuvers and sound combinations like First Game Blues which included a funny commentary about the school year's start. Homecoming '71 took a lot of extra work on music like The Games People Play, Superstar, and Hosan- na and on field-length line, cross, tic- tac-toe, and spiral formations. Finally, many seniors were disappointed when the finale of their marching career, Senior Spectacular, was cancelled due to cold rainy weather, Pep Band jump- ed into the act with new songs and its first party. Special small groups, vocal ensem- bles, continued their school and com- munity service bfy appearing for assem- blies, concerts, and meetings. One high- light was a split-madrigal performance for Vesper's Service entitled Where Is Christmas? Madrigal also performed for a Church Union convention. The season's initial vocal concert held sur- prises for another group, Boys' Double. john Magill had the ending bass du sound of the finishing phrases spinning round in Spinning Wheel and a dra- matic arm jesture which was smothered prematurely by the audience's applause. Then, in an unusual exit, Mark Bortle tumed and followed Diane Cook, the accompanist, off the far side of the stage while the other seven members of the double quartet marched off the close side. 'Ithis year's Boys' Double consists of Mark Underwood, Iohn Jorgensen, Tim Teig, Iim Lip- pincott, Bruce Tumer, Alan Gangestad, Iohn Magill, and Mark Bottle.
