OHOPTICOA HIGH SCHOOL SI MIRY S MOTHER COUNTY OF MARYLAND Marching band seemed never ending . .. Band members were forever busy. Not only did they have marching band to worry about, but concert band, too. The band's ex- cellence carried on from marching band into concert band this season. Pride in their hard work was evident as they received a I rating at Tri-County Music bands for state festival. Another myth shattered ... It was once said that you can't take a fine marching band and make them into a fine concert band Whoever said that had not met Mr. Jester or heard the Chopticon Concert Marching Band. Finally, on May 16, the annual Chopticon Band awards banquet was held. The banquet was very special with lots of surprises. No one will easily forget the gags, the tall flags song or the special presentation to Mr. Chakales. Which one of these is your flagf Jenny Wood helps distribute the flags before half time M !

By chance if you had dropped by school at night between lanuary and March you might have seen some of the most unusual sights at CHS in a long time. Instead of students running around after sports prac- tices. you would have seen cat people dancing and crawling about the gym, farmers singing about the Bible, lesus Christ and his apostles, or Eva Peron, an Argen- tina movie star, singing about the country she loved. It wasn't a crazy nightmare, it was rehearsal for the Peace Pipers' An- drew Lloyd Weber's Musical Revue Included in the Revue were loseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Evita and Cats The show consisted of 30 songs; 25 of them included the entire cast. Non- stop singing and dancing entertained au- diences during the two hour performance And what dancing it was! The dancing required fleet feet. Our wonderful choreographer, Randy Tuising and co-director, Laura Richmond, provid- ed the motivation, encouragement and dance steps. We brought the feet and the determination to work hard And if you're going to dance and sing, you need music. Mrs. Winslow was an invaluable asset, adapting the music to our needs. Then Mrs Kuzmick pulled it all together by directing and organizing the entire production. The show was such a success that we decided to pick 5 of the best numbers and take them to a competition in Harrison- burg, Virginia, where they received a 1 rating thanks to energetic performances by Zena Butler as Crizzabela, Tom Hartswick as Christ, and Anna Wathen as Eva Peron. Even the fall performances of 16th century madrigals by the group couldn't top the Harrisonburg competition. The months of hard work and devotion that were put into the Revue provided the highlight of the year for the Peace Pipers - that glorious feeling of a job well done rewarded with a 1 rating 166 REVUE The Peace Pipers include Fronl Row Danny lit- lleford.
