Our school has two bands that meet after school: Jazz Band and Festival Band. Festival Band met from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. two nights a week, which made for a lot of tired musi- cians.

Mr. Leeper really helps a lot, and it's worth coming after school be- cause you can see the results at the concerts and trips, said Becky Hrrowsmith, a ninth grade trombone player who is a member of both bands. On the three nights when Festi- val Band wasn't practicing, you can bet that Jazz Band members were working with all the conviction of pro- fessional musicians. Our Jazz Band was really something to be proud of with three consecutive first place ra- tings. Jazz Band went on lots of trips where practice paid off in the awards ceremonies, which were one of the best things about Jazz Band accord- ing to Steve Gillen and Paul Harris. The other good thing, says Paul, is that everyone gets along well. This is quite a tribute for any group of 23 teenagers, especially in the melting pot of cultures that a band produces. The opinion of all the band mem- bers is best erpressed by 9th grader Steve Gillen who plays the saxo- phone in the Jazz Band and the clari- net in the Festival Band who said, HH the practice and time after school re- ally pays off when you get that first place trophy.
