STAGE BA D This year the Middletown High School North Stage Band, under the direction of Art Martin, completed a very successful year. They were the hosts of the 1978 Stage Band Festival held at Middletown North. They competed at the Glassboro State Band Festival held at Glassboro State College and the Mon- mouth Stage Band Festival held at Monmouth College, where they placed first out of eleven of the most highly noted high school bands in the state. They also performed at the Middletown Stage Band jazz spectacular, that was held in june. This festival, as in previous years signified the last performance of the band and a laurel wreath of precious memories to the graduating seniors of this jazz Band. Among the musicians there were eight seniors, all of whom were the former members of the Thorne junior High Stage Band conducted by Bernie Ward , an excellent instructor of jazz. With his guidance he helped bring these people to the high school with a confident and well rounded background in jazz. From there these senior players were elevated to the level of performing music under the careful tutelage of another excellent performer and teacher, Art Martin. It has been a long and winding road with many disappointments and happy times. It is with great sorrow that we part, and great joy to know that we might meet again to play the jazz we love. i Thanks goes to the music educators, performers, competitors, and audiences of jazz who supported us for so many years FRONT: Charlie Plungis, Dave Guest, Scott Arminas.
