Individual Excellence Bands Defeat Lack of Instruments Seeping through the cracks in the walls, a faint tune becomes more clear. Itis Symphonic and Concert Band III, preparing for one of their concerts. Along with playing in concerts, band members could choose to perform at the annual 5010 and Ensemble. After the competition was over, the band members earned 31 ratings of 1 and 23 ratings of 2 with a rating of 1 being superior. Each year the bands go to Festival for marks and com- ments. uWe have played well as individuals but have a lack of instrumentation as a group,n commented band director David Tolly. This year, for the first time, they went for comments only. uI really enjoyed Festival because it gives you a chance to be judged on your abilities, commented freshman Theresa Blaser. During school, both bands broke down into groups called sectionals. In sectionals, each group prepared for concerts. After school, band members had a choice to participate in private lessons. At the end of the year both bands took their annual trip to Cedar Point. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells . . . Freshman percussionist Guy Cooper, plays the bells during a Christmas concert for the students. 109
