Musicians March to Victory When asked to comment on Marching Band, Vito Francone, this year ' s president, said: We are not a club; we are a sl illed organiza- tion dedicated to quality and entertaining per- formances. The primary objective for march- ing band was to succeed and have fun. March- ing band instructs students both to strive to be the best and to become better people. Under the direction of Mr. Bob Hasty, the 70 members of band entered about five march- ing competitions and nine festivals. In the five marching competitions, they received two first places, two seconds, and one third. From these activities and daily practices, band members learned better citizenship, march- ing, and musicianship. This year the band engaged in selling mugs, t- shirts, license plate holders, and stuffed ani- mals. With the funds that they raised, the band bought music and instruments. This money was also used for parties and trips. In the beginning of the year, the band attended a concert by the Sydney Orchestra at the Or- ange County Performing Arts Center. Marching band played during football and basketball games at halftime. Yet, Jeff Plie- meyer felt that for everything we do for the school, the amount of recognition we receive is nothing short of deplorable. Maybe we ought to imagine the mountainous task of promoting school spirit at football games without the band. -k.g.

Band, Winds Create Euphony The Symphonic Wind Ensemble and the Con- cert Band, supported by the instrumental Mu- sic Boosters, consisted of 35 and 30 mem- ibers, respectively. These groups attended the Saddleback Music Festival, Swallows Day Pa- rade, and Disneyland Parade, in addition to presenting the Spring Concert. The Wind En- semble also attended the Pacific Music Festi- val and Heritage Music Festival in San Fran- cisco. Vito Francone, Natalie Kallen, and Tim Kuy- kendall were selected for the All-Southern High School Honor Band. Francone and Kal- len were further honored by being chosen for the All-State High School Honor Band. Being part of these groups taught instrumen- talists to perform in an ensemble and basic knowledge of music history and theory. The primary objectives for the group were perfor- mance and music education. The two groups sponsored the Instrumental Music Raffle and Phillips Buick Pancake Breakfast which provided funds for the Sum- mer Band Camp and San Francisco trip, as well as new equipment for the Concert Band. -k.g. 1.
