With the charged tunes, the band supported both the boy's and girI's basket- ball teams this year. The band also added their talent to the exciting rallies. Each band member was required to have some sort of instrumental class to participate. The group formed in .January and would practice for thirty minutes be- fore each performance. 'Q' 52 1 .4 'l.

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.

The Championship Season 'B 'naandei-an Dedication and determination are two words applicable to all mem- bers of the marching band. This year's band season was one of success and fulfillment for all who participated, so says band in- structor lvlr. Gilroy. Contrary to popular belief, the season actually started during the hot summer days before school. Dn some days, the outdoor temperature would be 'l DDOF +, and even hotter in the rooms in which the band practiced. Nlr. Gilroy recalled, The kids would sweat so bad that by the time they finished, their bodies were drenched. The band didn't practice as many hours as other high schools, but all students concentrated almost exclusively on per- fecting their performance. There were many competitions that the band took part in. Six were located in such cities as Livermore, Logan, Gustine, and lVloreau, with the band's effort resulting in first place awards. lvlodesto and Clovis were two shows in which the band earned second place. The final competition in Dak Grove was met with a second place score. When asked what made the 'I SBA marching band season worth- while, some of the replies received were: Steve Costa - To play for a crowd of people produces a mutual joy and a spread of happiness felt by the audience and band members that will be remembered for a lifetime . . Kurt Sterling - . . All in all, the success and fun made it all worthwhile. W ,- Q This page: 'l. The color guard starting off the band's march in the Clovis parade: S.
