Band All Around Entertainment by Kim Clark For sixty-three girls and forty-one boys, music is more than just something to listen to. It is a class instructed by Director Iohn Oehrle, that meets every school day where they learn all the elements of music. The Marching Band, Pep Band, and Color Guard all play important roles in school activities. The Marching Band for football and the Pep Band for basketball, play at all the home games. They also play at pep assemblies and march in local parades. The Color Guard, made up of seventeen girls, did a flag show during Marching Band and a pom-pom rou- tine during Pep Band. lim Murphy, Assistant Director, was new to band. He assisted in Marching Band, the Color Guard, and was director of Pep Band. Concert Band had many concerts throughout the year, the Pops Concert on April 8 and the Graduation ceremonies on Iune 1. The whole band par- ticipated in Tri-Double I with Senior, Clinton, and Freeport. It is a two day event on May 4 8: 5, in Clinton, which concluded with a concert of all four schools combined. A number of Band members participated in other band related activi- ties. Anne Deppe and Brad Iudge, both seniors, qualified for the All-State Band. Other activities in- cluded solos and ensembles for contest, recitals, jazz ensembles, and Honor Band. The band year concluded with a trip to Florida. The funds were raised by the music students with the annual fruit sale and profits from the Variety Tonight show. Iames Murphy Iohn Oehrle r ff st K X 4 .iam . - 1 F ,kg . I 111

Although having two different newspaper classes makes it harder to commun- icate ideas for the news- paper, according to Sandy Siegert, editor, feels more staff members this year bettered the paper that much more.

Orchestra LF!! ll Busil Making Music by Hillard Salas From the start, the 1982-83 school year was a busy one for the orchestra and its director, Iohn Oehrle. As soon as school began, the orchestra began preparing for All-State tryouts. Four string players, Kim Bartels, '83, Tammy Brehm, '85, Amy Iersild, '85, and Lisa Melsted, '85, were selected for the prestigious orchestra. For Brehm and Bartels, their selections were not their first. Brehm was chosen for her second time, and Bartels' for her fourth. The rest of the year was filled with work in prepara- 112 tion for several concerts given over the winter and spring, a musical, and a music contest. On May 4 and 5, the music department par- ticipated in the annual Tri-Double I music festival, which was held in Clinton. During those two days, long practice sessions were held, ending with a concert on May 5. The final concert of the year, and the last for fifteen seniors, was given on May 24. At the concert, the seniors were honored for their musical contributions to Hempstead. Z - vs ..-' ' ' .y Vl 2 l ' ci!
