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.

The recognition the .Jazz Band deserves is overlooked too often. This group of eighteen musicians practiced at seven o'clock prior to each school day. Their enthusiasm for education was revealed by their enrollment in the eighth period lvlusic Theory class. Their goodwill was ex- pressed by thier perforrnances for the elderly at the Casa De Nlodesto and their Christmas Concert. The band members also hosted Woody l-lerman and his Thundering l-lerd. lVlr. l-lerman conducted a .Jazz Technique Clinic, which gave the band members the experience to work with a professional. They also performed in the California Nlusic Educator Association in l-layvvardiif 1. Kurt Sterling, Tom Gentry, Flandy Williams, Tony Whitesel, Cathy Fontana, Mark Polack, and Gary Cox follow lvlr.
