They took a trip to Austin to participate in the Texas Sesquicentennial Celebration Independence Day Parade. They performed a new piece of music written for them by Mr. Tim Cunn- ingham. The song was a medley of The Yellow Rose of Texas, Texas Our Texas, Deep In The Heart of Texas, and Texas Our Texas. We felt proud because Mr. Cunningham wrote it, Gina Massey said. Approximately 50,000 peo- ple were present to see the parade which consisted of 148 entries from around the state and Europe. The crowd was excited. They wanted to know who we were and where we were from, Jana Greenlee said. The parade was broadcast live to TV stations in most of the state. The parade was the culminating event of the two day trip which began Satur- day morning March 1 with a two hour marathon rehearsal. The band performed ex- tremely well and received many compliments on their playing, appearance, and behavior, Mr. Cunningham said. We felt proud represen- ting Jersey Village, Madon- na Smith-Barry said. Writ- ten by Denise Carew. Band 97

After placing in the top 12 flute players in the Region out of approx- imately 120, she had the honor to be in the Sym- phonic Band. It was really an honor to acheive. Iyll try out for it again next year and who knows, maybe I'll even go on to the state competition, Celeste said. Double Page Spread by Denise Carew

His enthusiasm for his students was reciprocated in the form of hard work and dedication. Mr. Leininger put in a long of extra time for us - he's really a great guy, said Roberta Doyle. To any stranger wandering into the choir room, the smiles and laughter of the choir members seem to in- dicate anything but work, but not so. We have a lot of fun goof- ing off, but we also do work hard, explained Nicole Con- way. This Wonderful working relationship accomplished a great deal. At the UIL com- petition, Men's, Women's, and Concert Choirs all receiv- ed superior ratings, and Con- cert Choir took the sweepstakes. Several students auditioned and made the regional choir and two boys were admitted to the All-State Choir, Between the countless competitions and special school performances, choir members can look back to a most memorable year.
