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.

Ensemble Emulates St. Louis Exposure to a truly American art form, jazz, provides the inspiration for the Jazz Band ' s eighteen members whose primary goals are performance and excellence in music educa- tion. Selected from the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Concert Bands, the Jazz Band members performed remarkably well for their first year of existence, rieal Corcoran stated that Jazz Band really has some talent and within sev- eral years the band should be excellent. In the Spring, Jazz placed second at the Saddle- back Jazz Festival. Their style not only includes jazz, but also accents of Latin, Swing, R B (Rhythm Blues) and Good Old American Rock n Roll Styles, -e.p. 1. JAZZ BAnD-(front) K. Peters, D. Thompson, V. Fran- cone, J.
