Bands Show Spirit First year bands develop talent Stacotto, sluring, forte, and accents were some of the familiar band terms heard by the 7th grade Cadet Bands and Woodwind Ensemble. Woodwind Ensemble was formerly known as Concert Band II, which now consists of only flute and clarinet players. llWoodwind Ensemble was not considered a band because there was a lack of brass and percussion players. The Ensemble plays clarineVHute duets and tn'os instead of Concert Band musicfl stated Mr. David Tolly, band direc- tor. Seventh grade Cadet Band members strived to be the best in upcoming years. Seventh graders have worked hard and sounded great, and each and every student hoped to be in Symphonic Band next year. Alto Saxo- phone player Sean Aukland stated, ill will be really glad if I am chosen to be in Symphonic Band because ifs the best band? Even with all the competition from other students and pressure from Mr. Tolly, both the Cadet Bands and Wood- wind Ensemble seemed to have given great performances all year. . , . .L'lil. 'Jf'vumu.

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
