Spectrum By far the 'iswingingest' group in the school, Spectrum, the jazz band here at GMHS, is in its twelfth year of entertain- ing, and they've never sounded better. Many of us have heard Spectrum play at pep assemblies, and special events here at school, but few of us know about their outside events. Some of Spectrum's past events in- clude the National Collegiate Jazz Band Festival in Chicago where Green Moun- tain turned out to be the hit of the testi' val. They also went to a college and high school music festival in Honolulu, Hawaii. Every other year, Spectrum tours during spring vacation. Beat it. The drum is resting. Keven Warner pratices his bass.
