Setting Tone for Key to Success Undertaking a class of 53 members, Music Director Dale Hutchinson molded and shaped new- ly arrived sophomores into performing musicians to compose the Concert Band. At the beginning of the year I was very optimistic about the band, stated Mr. Hutchinson, and by the end of the year the students had responded very well to our program. Performing selections such as Ainvicta and Gustav Holst's lst Suite In b For The Military Band, the Con- cert Band continually progressed in all areas ot music. Commented Senior Mike Feiderg They definitely played more difficult literature than any other year. ln review of the major performances and daily activities, Mr. Hutchinson declared, I didn't have any reservations about any part ot the year. We always strived toward perfection, and though we may not always have reached it, we still tried to look toward that goal. S.

Classics Fit Symphonic Band Overall, we have a lot ot talent and a hard-working attitude, noted Senior Chris LeCroy. in Symphonic Band, musicians were continually striving to improve themselves as they concen- trated more on classical music than marching styles. A more serious attitude led to the class goal ot Being the best we can be. Each student worked diligently to upgrade the quality of the band while trying to improve their own talent though daily rehearsals. A clean tight sound, the strength ol the group, and their en- joyment of the music contributed to the professionalism desired by the students. C.

lmprovement Through High Expectations Though sometimes it was hard to give one hundred per cent, the Orchestra students realized they must have their all to achieve the highest form of musical excellence. High expectations from Mr. Don Barrows, serving his first year as conductor, made the class one where improvement was constantly being challenged. Junior, Mary Crews noted, He wanted us to be better than 'just good'. The music is difficult, but the talent is more evenly distributed and we are twice as good as last year. There were less than twenty people in Orchestra, but their fine musicianship made up for their small number. Primarily the group played classical music, but spent a great deal of time interpreting music, developing better tone, and sightreading at a faster pace. Their stylization and intonation made Orchestra a class where students learned and perfected themselves at the same time. Mr. Bar- rows commented, I love to start the day making beautiful music in Orchestra. The kids are serious about their music, but we have lots of fun. C, Jacobs T. Sanchez 2. 1.
