5 The American Fieat by Kay Clson photos by Fiollin Sanderob Ever since the dawn of time music has plucked the heart- strings of the human spirit. Ivlusic has been used as a way of communicating feelings and emotions to others and it has been regarded as a source of entertainment. lvlulti- tudes of generations have been inspired in their lives in one way or another and consequently converted these inspira- tions into the great musical scores so many listen to to- day. The participants of the symphonic band found here at Beyer are not to be excluded from the vast population of accomplished musicians. The symphonic band consists of approximately S5 musi- cians, many of which have played their instruments for a minimum of five years. Through hours of hard work and dedication, the students have proven their music capabili- ties on and off the stage. One example of this would be Stefan Cooper who, through countless hours of practice, has earned membership and participation in the 'l SSS All- State l-lonors Band. From insight of the band's year-long performance, lvlr. Gary Gilroy, band instructor, said, Through hours of trav- eling and practicing together, many enduring friendships have been created among the students, as will memories which shall be reflected upon for many years to come.
