The group consisted of talented students who played many dif- ferent instruments, ranging from trombones to drums. A high ir terest level was a big part of thi group. Members usually par- ticipated in other bands as well as the Jazz Ensemble. The nineteen members played various pieces such as Dark Orchid,” “Journey to Capricorn,’’ “Hootin’ with Newton,” and “Decoupage. They practiced for winter and spring concerts and many other shows throughout the year. Because of each individual’s interest in music, quality performances were produc- ed every time.

The band was geared for the individual, so outstanding musicians could move themselves up to a higher band. Concert Band I students concentrated on improving their skills and techniques and in the first nine weeks of school, four students moved up to Concert Band II. At the end of the first semester, Concert Band I was dissolved and all former members were integrated into Concert Band II. Students in this larger group played the music of the season, songs from movies and Broadway musicals, like “They’re Playing Our Song,” along with a large variety of classical music. Concert perfor- mances included the Christmas Concert on December 10, the Festival Concert and the Rock-a- thon in March, and the Spring Con- cert. Concert Band II did a lot to spread the joy of music throughout the school. © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © e e ©ee eee e)e Norman Frigaull and Chris Bonner keep up the beat in Concert Band II.
