152 The 1988-89 Loara Band Family began the new school year on the right toot. Their eventful year started with band camp, which was held at ISOMATA music camp.

The tedious hours of striving for perfection did not end after the group ' s summer camp at Idyllwild. Each morning, band family members were expected to be on the football field at 6:45, ready to learn new moves and to polish their show. All their hard work and long hours proved to be rewarding. The band was victorious in areas of both field and parade, while the drill team and courtiers shined just as brightly. At such competitive events as Mt.

LOARA ' S CHOIRS PRESENTS EXCITING SAXON SOUNDS The Concert Choir and the Women ' s Ensemble had an active year, performing in concerts, festivals and compe- titions. The Choral Department has improved during the three years Mr. Tuttle has taught at Loara. He is also in charge of the Southern California Honor Choir and helps teach the California All-State Choir. This year ' s Women ' s Ensem- ble is the most spirited and vocal- ly strong group I ' ve had since coming to Loara. This is how Mr. Tuttle described his dedi- cated singers. They came to sing and practice in zero period every day to avoid schedule conflicts. They participated in various events such as the Fall Concert, Annual Holiday Concert, the Spring musical production, and the Annual Roses Concert in June. In addition, they performed in the Anaheim District Festival, and at a SCVA Women ' s Choir Festival. Loara ' s Concert Choir had an- other progressive and rewarding year. They continued the tradi- tions of quality and hard work for which our Concert Choir has been known. In addition to the same schedule as the Women ' s Ensemble, they appeared at the graduation ceremonies. At the Holiday Concert, the Concert Choir and our other choirs pre- sented the Hallelujah Chorus with the Loara Concert Band. Throughout the year, the Concert Choir and the Women ' s Ensem- ble sang diverse music which in- cluded classical, rock, popular, easy listening, and folk music. 151
