11-state honors to 5 musicians The music department completed a very satisfying year with fine bands who played extremely well. Much of this success is attributed to a strong sophomore class, considered “one of the best ever,” by Mr. Kevin McGillivray. The bands did not place in the top three at their major competitive festival, but according to Mr. McGillivray, “they played very well, and faced much stiffer competition than in previous years.” Their many engagements included performances at the Willamette Valley League festival, the University of Portland, and the Mt. Hood Community College Jazz Festival. Three outstanding band members, Brian Parker, Kaye Carlson, and Mike Elsberry, were selected to be in the All-State Band for its concerts on February 12, 13, and 14. Another impressive band ember, Steve Shaffer, was honored with a standing ovation for one of his solos during a band concert. The orchestra had exceptional talent and was larger than it had been for several years. Orchestra activities included participation in both the Willamette Valley League festival and the Pops concert in November, the WVL orchestra contest in February, and other spring appearances at the grade schools and the high school. Although all members of the orchestra were outstanding musicians, Maria Crouser and Kirsten Van Dyk were selected to play in the All-State Symphony Orchestra in February. Below: Brian Parker.

Stewarts of Dayton uccess in 82 is promise for 83 The McMinnville High School vocal department enjoyed a successful year competing in festivals and singing at many community functions. Mr. Doug Anderson said he expects this success to continue as his sophomore class shows much promise with fine singers and excellent attitudes. Highlights of the year included a Christmas concert given at the state capital in Salem, the first annual high school Christmas con- cert at the community center, and a Canada tour for the Twilighters. The Twilighters sponsored the sales of candles, calendars, and Kodak film in an effort to raise money for their trip to Canada. Other activities included the Willamette Valley League festival in April for the Concert Choir, and a commercial on KCYX for the Valley Community Bank by the Twilighters. .Mike Teegarden Mike Teegarden Above: Much preparation goes into the perfection of songs in Mr. Doug Anderson’s choir classes.
