While walking through the Music Department during 3rd period, sounds of students tuning up their instruments could be heard. Dur- ing class time, the Symphonic Or- chestra members practiced such songs as Beethoven’s 5th Sym- phony and selections from the Nut- cracker Suite. These were to be played at their winter and end-of- school concerts. Other perfor- mances were held at elementary schools, civic associations, and art shows. For those players who strived for higher goals, regional and all-state tournaments were held. These individuals were rated as 1 (superior), 2 (excellent), 3 (good), 4 (fair), and 5(bad). Talent, practice, and a great deal of pride contributed to making our Sym- phony of Strings a great musical

The musicians had taken their seats and were ready to play. They began their program with “Frosty the Snowman,” which soon led to Rudolph the Red Nos- ed Reindeer.” The Concert Or- chestra was made up of seventh, eighth and ninth grade string players, all trying to perfect their art. Some of these fine performers went on to regionals and received high honors, but to achieve these goals, much practice and dedica- tion was required. This dedication was clearly shown in the students’ concerts held all through the year up until June 3rd, their final recital. At their last performance, their abilities were shown to their fullest extent as proud parents and friends looked on. Everyone en- joyed being in Concert Orchestra and their performance certainly showed it. 3 3 3 Practice CONCERT ORCHESTRA: Sponsor: Caroline Shaw. 8. Burke, P. Cherbaka. J. Chestnut, D. Cook, L.

Their first concert was the Elementary concert, then the Winter Concert on December 15, the Festival Con- cert on March 9, and the Spring Concert on May 18. One of the special attractions that the band participated in was the Spring Competition. This event included 15 bands from different areas in Virginia to compete against each other. In addition to the above, the members of the Wind Ensemble spent many hours raising money to support their many activities. In sound and in spirit, the Wind Ensemble was right on key. 270 Audio-visual 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
