A Spectrum Music Spectrum jazz band is very much a part of Green Mountain's history. lt was first organized in 1975 by Ted Pulte. Mr. Fulte, the first director, got the band to a good start and it has still been going strong. Presently, Mr. Wayne liames is the head director. He came to Green Mountain with fifteen years of teaching experience, plus ten years of teaching private lessons with instruments such as saxaphone and clarinet. Adding to his musical experience, Mr. liames voluntarily instructed college band students for two years in the Greeley area. He spoke favorable of Green Mountain and hopes to stay here for several years. 'gDedicated musicians composed this jazz band , state first year director, Mr. Iiames. After inquiring, the spectator discovers that all spectrum members have several years of instrumental expertise and the group benefits from these talents. Typical events of the jazz band included performing at the Arvada center, concerts, jazz festivals, school concerts and auditions. Being a Spectrum member took hours of hard practice to make each player their best. Concerts were another time consuming event in each spectrum member's life. Mr. liames had put together a series of concerts for spectrum band, which pleased the audience. Spectrum didn't win any awards this year, but they didn't enter in amny festivals. lim sure that next year spectrum will win several awards. I have had the pleasure of listening to this jazz band, and in my opinion they are very gooi. Wayne liams introduces the next numb: r. Mr. liams directs the band to perfection Karen Hobbs and Sandi Bostwick await their turn to play while Susan Higanbotham blows her horn.
