Colden sound. French horns do not grace bands in abundance. Tami Scott chooses her instrument as it has such a pretty sound and brings the band together although it's hard to get the pitch. Mr. Brumbaugh says it's the hardest band instrument to play. The band was the best it has ever been since I've been in high school Musical skills increase as Kelly Souther competitiveness climbs, and the Band breaks into first place Dennis Johnson rumpets, a little bit softer through that part. Flutes, play those notes shorter. Percussion, we need a crash there. Let's start again at 64. The 2A State Championship Marching Band drilled day after day. Nevertheless, when they entered and won the state competition in Casper Oct. l5, they were surprised. I wasnit expecting to win. I just wanted the band to get some experience and a critique fromthe judges, said Advisor Charles Brumbaugh. Marching was a lot of work, but it was a success in the end,', added Marcie Jones. The band was the best it has ever been since live been in high schoolf, said Kelly Souther. The wholeyear was a big success, added Vii Tanner. Band activities included Solo and Ensemble Festival Feb. 23 in Star Valley, Jazz Festival Feb. 27-28 in Powell Music Festival April 23 in Evanston, and chorus tour May 4-5. We tried to get everyone involved fin the Solo and Ensemble Festivaljj' said Brumbaugh. The Jazz Band was disappointed by the inconsistent judging at the Jazz Festival. The judges usually all give you the same rating, but they gave us a l, ll and Ill, said Brumbaugh However, at Music Festival they received I's from the judges. The Concert Band, which performed three concerts throughout the year, also received all l's at the Music Festival. Jadelyn Johnson and Brian Warnick were nominated for the McDonald's All- American High School Band which is made up of two students from each state in the country and performs in parades like the Tournament of Roses. Many band members were selected for the lnterschool Band in Evanston. I didn't expect that many people to be going, most of the band got to go, said Brumbaugh. All-State Band members were Kellee Eyre, Janet Schwab and Brian Warnick. Front 1---at

lib. ha., 'NJ' The most important thing is to develop musical skills. To be a musician, you need to read the music yourself. New teacher brings fresh Mary Beth Lyon ideas to choral program L on roars in chorus Kim Piercy cales, arpeggios, triads, chords. LHS choral students practiced exercises to build their voices and train their ear for intervals and pitches. They learned to number, letter, and syllable notes in different keys, to write rhythms and melodies and to identify the key they wanted it in. Conductor Mary Beth Lyon said, I think the most important thing is to develop musical skills. Anyone can listen to someone else sing something and sing it back, but to be a musician, you have to be able to read the music yourself. I wonit be here to spoon feed them all their lives. They will have to be able to do it by themselves. The chorus introduced a new theme for a dance this year, the Morp. The idea came from president Jon Jensen. 'fl got the idea from talking to people from other schools that do it, he said. I think it went really well. Even though it died down at the end, everyone had a good timef' Since Morp is the opposite of Prom, the chorus students decorated the music room by throwing streamers and tinsel all over the room, making it look like the decorations had not been finished. The girl asked the boy instead of waiting for him to ask her. The Morp turned out to be a big success, raising over S300 to be used for tour. When they went to group festival they were rated two's by the judges, but were one of the best choirs judged in the sight reading division. At solo and small ensemble festival all the students that took a song received good and excellent ratings. The solos that received excellent ratings were sung by Jay Buckley, Jon Jensen, Monique Lewis, Kimberly Piercy, Susan Apgood, Joe Brodine, Jeff Wisenbaker, Spinner Jones and Victor VanGieson. Kimberly Piercy and Jay Buckley and Jon Jensen and Susan Apgood sang duets that were rated one's. Instead of taking the usual route on tour, the chorus, swing choir and the jazz band stopped at Cokeville, WY, and then headed to Salt Lake City through Logan, UT. In Logan they sang for the people at the Golden Living rest home. The next day they performed at the Utah School for the Blind. Chorus.
