Regular in-school scheduling of a class period for the Concert Jazz Band, as opposed to the after school sessions of previous years, provided for consistant practice giving an extra boost towards the group ' s desired perfection. Quality was obvious at the Oakton Festival, where both the Concert Jazz Band and the Stage Band received superi¬ or ratings in area competition. In preparation and for added experi¬ ence, the bands played at local ele¬ mentary schools. A prestigious honor culminated the year, when in April, the Concert Jazz Band an¬ swered on invitation to the Quin- niplac Jazz Festival in Connecticut. Organizations 79

A lot of hard, time consuming practice goes into being a Madrigal. Practice is what made them the fan¬ tastic group that they were. Besides singing at regular concerts, the en¬ semble answered various other invi¬ tations. Ranging from sophomores to seniors these chosen members made more than harmonious ditty. Concert Choir was also made up of chosen singers. Fourth period every day, they gathered together to rehearse for their next performance. Answering an invitation to the Ken¬ nedy Center, they were well appre¬ ciated in a holiday free-bee spon¬ sored by McDonald ' s. The planned annual exchange trip had to be can¬ celled because of the energy crisis. This didn ' t stop Concert Choir how¬ ever from doing a fantastic job ev¬ erywhere they performed.
