Springtime brings sunshine, flowers, and band try-outs for Concert and Symphonic Bands for the next year. Both bands participated in the Christmas, Mid-Winter, and Spring Concerts. These groups also accompanied the Marching Band to The Dogwood Festival. The Concert Band, who nicknamed themselves the ‘““Sweathog Band’, was particularly strong this year, as freshman and sophomore reinforcements were received along with the annexation plans. The Knoxville performance was excellent as they ranked 13th. Those selected for Symphonic Band are expected to practice more and have more dedication to acheive a high performance level. Because of this, the band was invited to attend the Southern Band Directors’ Conference, but because of expenses the invitation was declined. In March, the group received a superior (I) rating at District Festival. Director Neal Haworth said, that this years’ Symphonic Band is “‘probably the best balanced Symphonic Band we've ever had, which accounts for their high quality of performance, especially in the extremely high caliber of competition encountered in Knoxville.” Vampishly posed, the Symphonic Band officers Jeff Scheckwitz, Sara Cheverton, and Greg Alty take a break before a concert. 26 BAND Put Another Nickel In (con't ieee eee SORE The sounds of the Symphonic Band during the Mid-Winter concert harmonize as the brass and woodwinds play the passage together.

Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, and Tommy Dorsey — sure, they are all jazz musicians, but there is a more contemporary side to this broad form of music. The growing trend of young interest in jazz was quite evident as the band members had enough enthusiastic musicians that two groups were organized: The Glass Jazz and The Stage Band. The Stage Band is more of an introduction to jazz, where the Glass Jazz members have already had some experience in the jazz field. The younger group worked with the more traditional songs, as the Glass Jazz tackled more contemporary and innovative numbers. When Marching Band season quieted down, jazzband try-outs started up. Selection of these groups was quite unique. The guys just got together and switched parts around until they came up with something that sounded right. Practicing two days a week Director Neal Haworth was helped by student Mike Chesson, a saxophonist who gained experience with the Freddie Lee Orchestra. In September, last year jazz members along with some 1977 graduates performed at the Bob Hope benefit. Due to technicalities, the groups did not attend any competitions, but played for the VICA Yacht Club. The jazz bands also played in the Mid-Winter Concert, and in a spring concert, held outside, separately from the other concert bands. Mallets in action, Jeff Scheowitz concentrates while in concert. Coordination and skill combined with his talent, makes Jeff a great percussionist. 28 BAND Put Another Nickel In ¢on’t) The saxes blast it out during the Mid-Winter Concert.
