Band prepares for Rose Parade trip Symphonic and concert band are invited back to perform in the 101st Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California according to the parade selection committee. The band is invited back because of their outstanding performance in past rose parades. The reason MCHS band has received the invitation early is because it will give them time to raise the $500 per person need- ed for the trip. The band has attended the rose parade in 1984 and in 1987. To go to the rose parade in Pasedena, they choose the best musicians from Big Sky, Hellgate, and Sentinel. They are only required to get together on- ly a few times for some intense Symphonic band Flutes Beth Schuster, Beth Koch, Therese Johnson, Kris High, Mariah Maxwell, Kristin Johnson, Kristy Kitt Clarinets Kathey Hallsten, Liz Ballinger, Leeanne Goforth, Kristy Gibbs, Billie Spahr, Wes Heuer, Heidi Jager, John Masar Oboe Amanda James Bassoon Carter Biesemeyer Bass Clarinets Hedi Casquilho Contra-Alto Clarinet Valerie Bonefeole Alto Saxophones Cady Card, Matt Harrington, Greg Midgett, Gus Evjen, Katrina Nin- neman, Jacob Gowen Tenor Saxophone Mark Gilmore, Stacey Hiller, Marc Malingo Baritone Saxophone J.F.

The drill teams from all three high schools also try out to participate in the band. They practice the first week in August through December, up to the time of the parade. To raise the money for the trip, the band goes door-to-door sell- ing magazine subscriptions, can- dy and boxed fruit. They also tape coupons to products in stores and work taco booths at the fair. All that work only pales in comparison to going to San Diego Zoo, Malibu Beach, Disneyland, and Universal Studios. The band program is made up of students who want to expand son, Karen Barriger, Brent Russ, Amy Sennett, Tony Kushner, Phaleen Bailey, Jason Flynn i Trombones Dallas Anderson, Jeff Pearson, Michelle Dunn, Lisa Rowe Baritones Carter Roy, Jeb Myren, Dave Bourgeau their experience in band music. Band adds musical interest and good times together to produce an enriching experience said John Combs, band director. Symphonic band is different from the other bands because of the high quality of music and high content of maturity and discipline among the band members. Symphonic band is different than in previous years because it is a little smaller to allow top band members in. Concert band is larger due to the increased numbers of students who are choosing to be involved in band. Students in concert band are made up of younger and less ex- perienced players.
