Pep band, honor band and jazz band keep on jamming What goes into three terrific bands? Hardwork, practice and togetherness. Pep band put in spirit and a lot of energy and ambition. The pep band played at all the home basketball games, both boys and girls games, plus also some of the wrestling matches, and don't forget all of the pep assemblies. Pep band was strictly a student activity that drummer Kent Seguine, and trombonist Matt Warren, took turns leading. Mr. Heeden led the pep band through the Star Spangled Banner which was played at the beginning of each game. Jazz band played at concerts, such as the Myrtle Point Jazz Band Festival, and they also played at the AFS Banquet. The students got together to practice for about a month before each event. Jazz banders got up at seven every Thursday morning for about an hour, which they did only when something special came up. Nervous. That was what the students were when they auditioned for this year's honor band. CHS students who were in band sent a tape of their playing and those selected were chosen from a lot of talented people on the South Coast. The honor band traveled to Florence's Suislaw High School and stayed with host families while they were there. The trip was not all fun and games however. The band had three practices, then joined bands in a public concert. Each participating band played one number, and the honor band played the last three numbers. Each band had its special qualities, and everyone who participated had fun in doing so. 18 Bands
