BARNUM The Peace Pipers of Chopticon High School provided that bit of culture to our atmosphere that was needed. They brought wonderful music to our ears and brilliant talent to our eyes. Under the direction of Mrs. Kuzmick. the Peace Pipers were involved in many activities, for example, the Christmas Madrigal Dinner. The menu featured Pearls from the Sea, otherwise known as oysters, and The Master’s good beef, or roast beef. They also participated in the Spring Concert, with the band, in April. The Peace Pipers had a Bach Cantata where they celebrated Bach’s 300th birthday with a concert featuring his work. They also participated in Barnum, the successful musical performed in March. The Peace Pipers were a great asset to Chopticon. They worked extremely hard to entertain us and had a lot of fun doing it. I have an idea. I’m going to build the greatest show on earth!

Seven out of seven times they took no less than 1st place, leaving their competition behind in a proud cloud of dust. Everywhere CHS band went, they brought the crowd to their feet for a stand- ing ovation. Their performance was always filled with fire; the spark being lit by Sparky with his infamous knock their socks off. and boy did they! Of course their number one fan, Mr. Chakales. was always there to lend his support. The season's scores ranged from 70.8 to an astounding 86.35 at Chapter Championship. Once again they traveled to Penn- sylvania for the Atlantic Coast finals moving up their position to 5th best band in the east. Earl Jester. Vicki Zwiep, and Pam Hamnmer along with our new percussion instructors, Sheila Bryant and Mike Breton, prepared a superior show for the band. The program opened with Topaz and was followed by Lullaby of Broadway, Dawg Grass. Rainmaker, and Softly As I Leave You. Solos were expertly performed by Loren Nelson, Robby Winslow, and Anita Winslow with duets by Andy Stauffer and Preston Wood, Robby and Anita Winslow, Dan Kelley, and Kevin Hugel. The drum majors. Leslie Ritchie, Jessica Fenwick, and Gabby Houchens led the band to victory with grace, style, class, and pride.
