The characteristics of a march- ing band student are dedication, talent, coordination, and depend- ability. The marching band prac- ticed as much as many recognized sports to put together artistic shows. Their talents were enjoyed at the Tulelake and Merrill parades and also at the Snowflake Festival. Besides parades, the band marched at all home varsity footbaH games. Jack Heaton led the group as drum major. Jack commented. The duty of the drum major is to help the marchers to get in step and to keep the beat of the music. Also the drum major is the first helper to the director. As we give recognition to our sports athletes, let's keep in mind the other activities that contribute to our outstanding school. At your next football game, thank a band member for the performance which helps to lead us in school spirit. MARCHING BAND MEMBERS FRONT: Dan Lunsford. Tiffany Stanfill, Kristin Shimck. Jenny Payne.

JAZZ BANDS GREET MAYNARD FERGUSON Klamath County was treated to a special performance this year thanks to the hard work of Charles Moresi and his jazz bands. Famed trumpeter and band leader May- nard Ferguson came to town on April 6. He and his band worked with the Mazama Varsity Jazz band before performing in an evening concert at Mills. Both JV and Varsity bands practiced early in the morning (7:15-8:05) with some evening re- hearsals also. Admittance into the elite groups was by audition only. In April the Varsity Jazz Band won the Eagle Point Jazz Festival for their category and was awarded Outstanding Ensemble plaques. They were also invited to perform in the evening concert with the Mt. Hood Jazz Lab Band. This year s winner of the presti- gious Louis Armstrong Jazz award was Jack Heaton for outstanding participation as a jazz band mem- ber.

Director of the group was Ken White. Members of the group also per- form in marching band in the fall as well as in all school and night concerts. Next year both bands will move into their new band room, which will provide more privacy and a better performing atmosphere. 140-Concert Band
