Instrumental groups: pride in music Concentrating on competition, the Jazz Band participated in five contests. At Valley, East placed fourth in a field of 10 bands. They were also involved in many con- certs. Traveling with the Marching Scarlets, the Jazz Band performed twice at Disney World. They also performed in other pla- ces around the state, giving con- certs in Cedar Rapids, and Creston, and at two Des Moines schools: Hoover and Valley. Instruments used in the Jazz Band included the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, drums, and some- times the guitar. Performing classical music by Beethoven and Mozart was the Orchestra. The Orchestra pres- ented Christmas and spring con- certs in the auditorium. Many members tried out for all-state orchestra. JAZZ BAND.

Endofoldtraditionforma leKiwanians Traditions are hard to change, but the principal, Mr. Miller, had a choice which concerned choosing the Kiwanian of the month. For years, there has been a tradition of male Kiwanians only. When Mr. Miller chose the nine Kiwanians, he chose three girls to represent East, as well as six guys. He felt that there was no reason that girls shouldn ' t be allowed to represent their school. If they excelled in some kind of activities, whether academic or extra- curricular, they should be honored for their achievements, with no discrimination. The three girls who were honored were Kari Kramme, Teresa Satter- field, and Chris Leto. All of the Kiwanians attended a luncheon, separately, with Mr. Miller downtown with Des Moines businessmen. Kiwanians chosen by Mr. Miller are Kari Kramme, Tony Borich, Jody Forest Steve Fuller Chris Leto, Jeff Borg, Teresa Satterfield, and Anthony Turner. 28 STUDENT LIFE
