Hey! Look Them Over! The Concert Band was kept busy all year prepar- ing and perfecting music for a series of performances at Cabrillo and the feeder schools. They were fea- tured along with the chorus in a film showing on KEY-TV during the holiday season, playing Sleigh Ride , the traditional Greensleeves , and the lovely Carol of the Drums . Along with show tunes such as Mary Poppins , Sound of Music , and Man of La Manch . They also performed more serious numbers, including Concerto Grosso , Dedicatory Overture , and Fiesta of the Charros. Their goal for the year's efforts was to receive superior rating at the District Festival held on the Lompoc campus, qualifying them to compete at the Regional Festival held in Los Angeles. Director Larry Miller selected two concert pieces and a march for the competition. They also sight read music selected by the iudges. A number of seniors were featured as soloists at concerts and also competed at the Solo and Ensem- ble Festival. George Pritchard soloed in the Con- certo for Trombone , David Elder in Rondo for Horn , Victor DePrater in Concerto for Clarinet , and Paula Dinkel in Flute Royale . All four are solos with band accompaniment. Several other stu- dents also entered the Festival competition. Sophomore Gretchen Gelker concentrates on fingers and hanf. Senior Fred Stufft keeps the steady beat for the band.

From String to Swing The string ensemble is one of the newly formed organizations on the Cabrillo campus. lt's members are few, five to be exact: Jesse Adams, Margo Crummy, and Calvin and Alvin Riley. They made an excellent performance at the Christ- mas Concert last December and at the Spring Con- cert in March. Concert instructor, Mr. Clyde Davis, pointed out that those who have previously played a string in- strument can ioin and that this is the only requirement. Next year, they plan to play along with the re- mainder of the Cabrillo orchestra which will include about 50 additional students. Appearing for the first time in the Tierra Royal, the Dance Band is composed of a select group of Cabrillo musicians. The group plays standard dance band arrangements including iazz music. They have already played at various iunior highs and elemen- tary schools in the Lompoc area and are scheduled to play at the Spring Concert and the Cabrillo Music Festival. This select group was formed two years ago and the requirements for entrance lie only in the instructors' approval. STRING ENSEMBLE: Front row: Clyde Davis CConductorJ, Margo Crummy, Vernon Yandell.
