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

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
