A.'s Wildcat Marching Band, both JV and Varsity, is an integral part of the Music Department's curriculum. Since the Varsity Band is a performing group, after school and evening rehearsals are an extension of the scheduled class period. Therefore, band is a combination of a class and an extra-curricular activity. Concert Choir and String Orchestra are also courses which are offered by the Music Department and incorporated into the activi- ties program. The Concert Choir produces a musical each year in which The String Orches- tra also participates. Music appreciation is developed via To- day's Music, a class involving listening, dis- cussing, and evaluating modern music, and Music Theory, a class designed to develop an understanding of music. Music theory deals with music from its harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic framework. Top right: A scene from Camelot, the musical production of 1972. Mid- dle right: J.
