Ken Quehrn kept a close eye on Karel Erhol as she directed the band for the first time. Taking second in the Issaquah parade was no surprise since the band had such a sharp ap- pearance and strong marching abilities. if : . s ‘ ss : i Ne 08 i re pat i N d ; in sf go as ne :) 4. ) “yh bs a b wae tee An a

The band Vice-President, Chuck Schencking, was careful- ly watching the little black dots on his sheet of music. Mr. Patterson thought that working with the Concert Band was a challenging pleasure. Clark Hinkel and Aaron Moldver faithfully blew all of their hot air into their trombones. Believe it or not, the Concert Band sounded even more impressive than they looked. Even though the band was much smaller than last year, they performed with more energy and enthusiasm than ever before. During their concerts, they did a professional job playing challenging music. Their direc- tor, Mr. Patterson, was very pleased with the amount of effort that the band demonstrated. Coucert Gaud Concert Band 23

Our little drummer boy, Paul Saenz, looked for direction from the band Celebrate Katder Gaud Up, one, two... the voice of Ken Quehrn could be heard clearly as the Raider Band marched in unison to the beat of the music. Throughout the year, the Raider Band dedicated long hours spent in the music room learn- ing and rehearsing music for football and basketball games, assemblies, and a few parades. As a result, they marched their way into second place at the PNE and Issaquah parades. The band also traveled to Wenatchee for the Apple Blossom parade. However, it wasn't all work for the band members and Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson relieved his anxieties by prac- ticing yoga in the middle of the band room. This provided them with a few moments to laugh between themselves. Above all, the Raider Band was the loudest and most excited cheering section at all of the home games. Paul Saenz tried to catch a few Z’s, while Becky McAfee and Sean Davis were laughin g at his snoring.
