They are not only an art form, but they give the word a new meaning. Through the teaching of how to play an instrument, the teachers are in hopes of acquainting the students with good music and the art of music. l'The purpose of band is to teach the student good musical fun- damentals through introducing them to great band music and encouraging them to develop playing their instrumentsfl said Richard Erickson, band director. Students in the orchestra and band are a mix of students from Big Sky, Hellgate and Sentinel. They performed a Christmas, Spring, and a school concert and turned out line performances. jeff Olsen stated, M0rchestra is about as different an experience as you will probably have in highschool. The band directors are in hopes that their work throughout the year will pay off. Maybe in the group of kids they taught, there may be another Liberachy or Beethoven. A NOTE OE EASE 4 The band tlettj takes a break during the class period.

Singing the Blues and Gold Aesirian had a colorful year full of ups and downs. A blue point came when Aesirian was accepted to perform in Portland, Oregon but could not attend because it was not the choirs' year to travel. It was very disappointing because they may never receive the invitation again. HoWever,the year was highlighted when they were told that they would be able to go to San Francisco the next year, The year proved to be full of other golden moments also. The third annual Madrigal Dinner was a tremendous success and Aesirian also brightened the days for grade schoolers by singing for them. A local television station taped a beautiful performance of them which appeared on Christmas Eve. Aesirian is the highest of the choirs and three very select ensembles are made up from its members.They are Sky Blues, Baby Blues and The Big Sky Four. These three groups also made many special ap- pearances throughout the year. Aesirian was organized and led this year by President Park Hook and Vice-President Kari Mourich. The bright year ended in a beautiful sunset of memories. Many of the Aesirian members graduated leaving an opening for another color- ful mixture. 122 - Aesirian Choir i-IAMIVIING IT UP e Aesirian choir members ltopj joke around before their Christmas Eve Television taping.
