Dallas High School - Dragon Yearbook (Dallas, OR)

MUSIC Active and Vocal As the year came to a close, the entire music department was as active as any group in school. The choir went to compete in Eugene for District 4 ratings and Dragonaires, as usual, performed all over: Kiwanis, Rotary and at many concerts. The band, too, was involved in competition. Of the three contests, perhaps the most interesting was the U. of O. festival in Eugene. Accoustics and the musical environment brought out the best in the performers. The pep band played at the home football and basketball games and they also appeared at the girls’ state basketball tourney. The stage band came into the public eye in February, when they sponsored and played at their own dance. Actively speaking, music was where it was at! 1: Junior Brent Tilgner readies himself lor the down beat. 2: Choir members Debbie Siemiller, Barbara Pope and Kelli Luker listen to a stage band performance. 3: Dallas High's own ‘Buddy Rich Brian Wagner lays down a tew rim shots for the swing choir. 26 Music

VOCAL Rosie Returns Returning from a year leave of absence, Mrs. Nancy Rosenbalm expressed her pleasure at being back; she thought it was great working with old associates. She observed that student attitude had changed, and it had become harder to get her students to work than in previous years. In recent years, choir has been the most active of the vocal groups. But with the rising popularity and antics of the Dragonaires, the smaller group has enjoyed increasing prominence. However, as tar as Director Rosenbalm was concerned, every singing group was equally important. Choir performed at Eugene for District 4 competition and they received two 1’s which was the top. Other performances included coronation, fall concert, winter concert, and a spring jazz concert. Setting goals for the next year wasn't hard, but meeting them was. Rosie, as she was affectionately known to her students, was able to do both. Her goal for the year was to help each vocalist perform at their best and to make each performance better than the last, and she met these goals. VocaU2T
