Performance Band and Orchestra Excel or the bands and orchestra, hours of hard work and dedication all led to one thing — performance. With personal ambition to do their best and pride in their group expertise, students excelled in concerts and competition. The marching band was the most visible of the groups, per- forming every Friday night dur- ing the football season and at pep rallies. The band, full of spirit, helped spread its enthusiasm to students with its recognizable beat. The combination of music and marching skill in their perfor- mances impressed students. The concert band also achieved excellence despite great adversi- ty. Their director, Mr. Jim Hale, suffered a back injury and had to miss a month of school. Senior leadership took over as drum ma- jor Steve Lyons directed the band in its Christmas concert. Steve commented later, “I felt such a rush of power. It was incredible.” MARCHING SYMPHONIC BAND: Front Row: T. Nida, K. Rosbe, C. Lamberth, L. Bdrry, L. Schumate, A. Lutz, J. Prentice, A. Porterfi Braun, G. Thompson. Second Row: T. Colley, K.

The concert band went on to earn a “1” at festival in marching and symphonic competition, making them an honor band — a distinc- tion shared by few other bands in the state. Of course, like any band, they also engaged in exten- sive fundraising, including spon- sorship of the Battle of the Bands. The orchestra, though smaller than the bands, was a close group of talented people who also donat- ed much of their time to their mu- sic. ‘It’s a lot of hard work, but it pays off,” said Ben Dorsey. The orchestra performed superbly at Festival, in Virginia Beach. Stan- dout performers Eddie Cho and Amy Catron received special hon- ors. They were chosen to all-re- gional orchestra, and Amy Catron went on to be first chair in the state, an unprescedented honor for the school. For the orchestra and band, it was a year of excel- lence in performance. at en POE, ti I j MR. KELLNER DIRECTS THE ORCHE prepare for upcomi RLESSLY ORCHESTRA: Front Row: D. Keliner, T. Dela H.
