Laura Fox and Timi Wilber audition for Concert Band. 3 i i t i otes That Sing Advanced women's choir started the year with a small group of girls, both juniors and seniors. To better and to enlarge the choir, additions were made at semester. The new comers were mainly freshman with a few upper classmen included. The choir sings three part harmony and performs various types of music, ranging from classical to contemporary. Three concerts were held this year. The group also went to Dunstan and performed for the students there. This is the first year at Green Mountain for Brian Grimm, the director of the choir. He feels that the members of this choir found out that there is a lot of enjoyment to be found in music, plus the girls are very supportive and helpful to one another, which is not only good pertaining to the group, but to the individuals as well? Concert band is the entry level band class here at Green Mountain. Mr. Iiames called it the feeder program for the upper two bands. The group consisted mainly of freshmen just starting an instrument, and upper classmen who had picked up a second instrument. Concert band was more of a training, rather than performance group, although they did play for an audience on a few occasions. Plus it gave the students highschool playing experience. At semester, some of the more successful members were moved up to one of the more advanced groups which left 24 students. The group is a good beginner course and it prepares the student for the future band classes here at G.M.H.S. The members of Concert Band were: FL UTES: Mitch Smith, Emilia Costales, Dari Bradsby, Toby Rockley, Beth McNeely, Michelle Dauenhauer, Trisha Voss, Annette Gates, Kari Haden, Amy Leondorf CLARINETS: Connie Yarrington, Laura Fox, Theresa Hyman, Jacquin Fahlsing, De De Dorf.

Keeping n Step The Marching Rams accomplished more this year than ever before, commented Mr. Iiams, director. The band was under the new leadership of Mr. Iiams, drum major Gann Karsten and drum Majorette Jenni Petch. The drill and design assistant director was Tim Marco and Dave Marvin was the percussion line assistant director. The band itself consisted of 130 instrumentalists and 15 guard members. These hard-working individuals practiced every day during 7th period, plus they held rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday for three hours and on Saturdays for five hours. Everyone involved agreed that it was a lot of hard work but it paid off. The Rams took 2nd at Lakewood on Parade and 3rd at Arvada Harvest Festival. The band's awesome field show got them lst place at Jeffco for the third year in a row. They finished 3rd at Regionals and an astonishing 5th at State which made the whole school proud of their accomplishments. Both major and majorette of the Green Mountain Marching Rams had spirit and pride working with the band. Jenni said, The people in the band are fantastic and have determination to work hard. Gann added, 8'Mr. Iiams works well with the band. The members are phenomenal. Another hard working part of the Rams were the section leaders. They spent extra time having special practices for the instruments they led to improve the band. This year's section leaders were: Sheryl Bostwick and Janeth Leaman, flute, Wendy Martin and Sharon Roehm, clarinetg Linda Betterly and Tim Fisher, saxaphoneg Holly Hall, french horn, Sandy Bostwick and Wayne Felix, low brass, Jeff Fowler and Suzanne Higinbotham, trumpet, Andy Geist and Doug Rollwitz, percussion. An important addition to the band was the color guard. They added color and artistic design to the whole ensemble. Junior, Tanya Jansson, was this year's Guard Commander. She commented that, The school support during Jeffco helped the Marching Rams be seriously competitive. All in all, the mutual feeling was as Mr. Iiams commented, The Marching Rams have a lot of class. The GMHS banner and the color guard in Lakewood on Parade. Jenni and Gann march in front of band.
