Doug Talbott, band director Band members travel Music is the universal language, someone once said. Whether it ' s true or not doesn ' t really matter to the BCCC College Band. They ' ll make themselves known to anyone who will stop to listen — regardless of any notion about their music being universal. Any music sounds good to them. Anytime, anywhere. The band, under the direction of Doug Talbott, was on the move. Many performaces are on the calender year after year for the Grizzly Band; none of them was ignored. The band traveled to every foot- ball game, except for the one in Garden City, and made the special trip to Ranger, Tex. to play for the football team and fans at the Roaring Ranger Bowl. At homecoming, the band mem- bers put their imaginative minds together and produced the winning float for the festivities. The Jazz Band, also a department of the College Band, then won the talent show with a skit that combined the Twilight Zone and the Peanuts comic strip. Band members celebrated their win at Aunt Nancy ' s, a local 18 tavern, with a closed party. During basketball season, the band played for every home game and often accompanied Terri Maness, Butler ' s twirler, at half- time. The band brought spirit to the home basketball game with their up-beat music of rounds of the Griz- zly Victory March and its own special ' ' Spirit Beat. In addition to moonlighting as a Pep Band, concerts were given by the band members. Three different concerts were given by the band during the year — one at Christ- mas, one in March and one at the end of the year. The Jazz portion of the band also put in many extra hours to raise money for its trip to New Orleans in March. The Jazz members went caroling at Christmas, sold candy, and had a car wash to raise enough funds to take the trip to the Worlds Fair in New Orleans. So, the next time you hear — Mr. Music please — stop and think about how much work goes in to the making of music. Many en- thusiastic music majors and non- music majors spend a lot of their time to make the football and basketball games more enjoyable, all for only one credit hour toward their degree. Be it jazz, rock or pop, the music they play is the music they give to you. 28 Bands Jazz Band members include (front row from left) Kevin Fox, Scott Snow, Brian Davidson, Kevin Lawrence, Paul Hake, Brian Ellis, Chuck Combow, Jane Baugh.

Vocalists appear here and on road, Fort Smith, Ark. to New Orleans The vocal area of the music department seemed to be on stage all year. The college choir performed in four on-campus concerts, highlighted by their pops show, An Evening at the Grammies, presented in March. The members were able to do two off campus programs during the Christmas season. College choir is open to all. The choir boasted two different vocal ensembles during the year. The ladies ' ensemble did several performances both on and off campus, and took an out-of-state tour to Fort Smith, Arkansas in March. The mixed quartet provided a different type of sound and was popular entertainment at many community functions. The Headliners show choir calendar was heavily booked. In addition to the usual on-campus and area high school tours, the members were involved in Pops Clinic ' 84, a clinic for high school students held on the campus in February. The singers also had a live Christmas card caroling party in December as a fund-raiser. The high point of the year occurred in March when the Headliners represented BCCC on a week-long tour which took them to New Orleans. Linda Pohly was director of all the vocal music groups. Marge Marsh and Ann Hamrah, faculty members, and Candi Vogt, a student, were piano ac- compani sts for the groups.
