Stagehand Activities of Stagehand Begin in Spring Inst Under the direction of R. B. Hunger, the Reagan Stagehand is newly formed as of this year. Being one of the Austin high schools without a stagehand, this year ' s addition gave Reagan its own. Five saxophones, 3 trumpets, 5 trombones, a pi- ano, guitar, drums and bass are the instruments com- bined in the band. Specializing in dance music, the members enjoy getting together and playing more contemporary music. Shortly after the band ' s formation in late Febru- ary, their first performance was at the Gymnastics Assembly held March 6. Music accompanied the movements of the gymnasts on the trampoline, vault- ing horse and rings. STAGE BAND jront row, takes time out to listen to back row.

« Orchestra Instruments Require Skill, Practice «i i £ DM Perhaps the main purpose of members in the Rea- gan Orchestra is to learn more about music and more specifically to practice orchestral repertoire and to develop proficiency on various instruments. The orchestra meets every day at 7th period under the sponsorship of Mrs. Janet George, who holds a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Kansas. Eleven violins, five violas, two cellos and one string bass make up the orchestra. Concertmaster for the 19 member orchestra is Nancy Needles. Announced on January 11 for All Regional Or- chestra were Nancy Needles, Phyllis Courtney and Frances Johnson. The only member of the All-State Youth Orchestra, held on February 20, was Miss Needles. Throughout the year the orchestra played at vari- ous elementary schools and performed at the annual choir Christmas program. DAVID CONNER COMBINES finger dexterity and concentration in playing the bass. WAITING FOR THEIR cue, Robert Peek and Stephanie Irwin hold poised bows.
