Instrumental Music Drummers Keep Time anuary 31 . Yes, it was the end of first semester, but it was not tfie end of the musical season. Carrying on into the second semester, the Blue Star Reqiment was divided into four groups: CONCERT BAND, JAZZ BAND, PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE, and WIND ENSEMBLE. Three of these groups, the Concert Band, Jazz Ensem- ble and Wind Ensemble, participated in activities such as the competition at Chaffey College and the Riverside School District Music Festival where they were matched against bands from other schools in the district. The musi- cians also performed at school associat- ed events such as basketball games and pep assemblies. But while the Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Wind Ensemble competed, the Percussion Ensemble did not. The mu- sicians worked mainly on drumming techniques and learning other musical skills for future reference. Some of their tasks were to write drum solos and ca- dences to be used in the future by the BSR during the marching seasons and to recruit for the future drumline. Mem- bers were also allowed to perform with the Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, who did not have their own percussion sections. It ' s not as easy as it looks to be good at playing an instrument, especially if it ' s a percussion instrument. The percus- sion section is the base of the band and therefore we have to work even harder building self-confidence and disci- pline, commented Ernie Marstellar. Although many different groups exist- ed, together they formed a band of dedicated musicians who worked to make a success filled year for the BSR.
