 . Bali rit Under the new direction of Mrs. Susan Breden, the orchestra, consisting of forty-four members performed the music to the drama department's production, The Sound of Music. Practice was held for the orchestra everyday during sixth period. On many occasions the ten-member string section of the orchestra performed separately from the rest of the group. The string section participated in the District Solo and Ensemble Festival and also accompanied the Concert Choir at the National Cathedral and Marshall's Winter Concert. Classical music was incorporated in the orchestra's curriculum which varied slightly as they played for the various groups. Various jazz festivals, along with several elementary schools in the area, played host to the Marshall Concert Jazz Band. These festivals included the Langley Jazz Festival, the University of Maryland Jazz Festival, and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival. In addition to these festivals, the Jazz Band provided Marshall with several invitational concerts during sixth period assemblies. Entertainment provided by the Jazz Band was accentuated by the presence of Dave Bargeron of Blood Sweat and Tears, who judged at Marshall's own Jazz Festival.
