.H 5 Ji? ff ilvsis wzlrzfams- it 55212 State Champs! Working hard and putting in nearly 25 hours a week paid off this year for the Marching Rams. replied jeff Borden after winning state. The Marching Rams took their show to every competition they went to and came home with a first place trophie every time. To top it off, they came home from CBA state championships with a gold medal. They achieved a score of 88.55 which is the highest score ever recorded in CBA history. It was a wonderful feeling to stand on the sidelines and receive all of those trophies Saturday night and then get the biggest of them all - the state championship! Luanne johnson was the drum major for the March- ing Rams. She received her fair share of awards getting Best Drum Major in all but one competition. When asked how he felt about receiving the many trophies that the band did, Mr. Iiams replied, It's not the trophies that count. It's the hard work and effort and especially the time that the band puts in that counts. Those trophies will sit in the trophy case and their meaning will be forgotten but the memory of how the band worked and was the best will never be forgotten. 1-ans 1987 MAA CHAMPIUNS Bottom Row: fhont left to rightl j White, D.

Masters of the Music The role they play at GMI-IS Music plays an important role in the lives of some Green Mountain students. Wind Ensemble, Spectrum, Orchestra, and Sym- phony Band are the four instrumental groups at Green Mountain. There are 75 + students who have dedicated their time to be involved in one or more of these exciting groups. Wind Ensemble is the top concert organi- zation at Green Mountain. They have played many pieces including Night On Bald Mountain, La Fiesta Mexicana, and Nilesdance. Even through all of the work put in, they find time to relax and have fun. Symphony Band is another very important part of the music department at Green Mountain. This group, along with the other three groups, is achieved by audition only. The audition consists of being able to play scales fluently, being able to sight-read and having a prepared piece to play. Students are not quite as experienced in this group as are those in Wind Ensemble but they are still a very good musical group. Spectrum is Green Mountain's jazz band. They are made up of 17 select members of Wind Ensemble and because they are in both groups, they have to put in double the amount of work as anyone else in instru- mental music. The Green Mountain Orchestra is the onl strin s rou that Green Mountain has Y 8 8 , P y ' just because it is the only one, doesn t mean that they are any less than top quality. They are recognized very highly at UNC and have had performances with UNC staff. Through all of their hard efforts, they have excelled in performance and have en- tertained many audiences. The strings concentrate on a difficult piece. 204 -- Bands Mr. Iiams plays maestro during Spectrum. f .it-- -fia-. . 3 r tt's Orchestra plays hard to please Mr. Nelson.
