Stage Band membel are a strange group of people. They are crazy at times but when it comes to perform- ance time, they get serious. They are all really great. Brent Walth, senior ll 14 Stage Band X7 I Stage Band Group does exceptionally well, performs at Great America Stage Band received first place in a Wilco League Sweepstakes against ten other schools on Oct. 26. Because they placed first in the contest, Stage Band members were eligible to play at the Oregon Music Association State contest in February. The contest was held at Mt. Hood Community College.

A Cappella has given me more musical Ap- preciation. Heather Stein A Cappella Choir Appreciation for music becomes evident as students perform well Under the direction of Mr. Gil Timothy, the A Cappella Choir met every day during fifth period. The choir was made up of talented sophomores, juniors, and seniors who enjoyed music and shared a love of sing- ing. The students also gained a better concept of music and musical appreciation. President Timothy Davis, senior, Vice President Patti Swan, senior, and Secretary Eric Gibson, senior, worked together planning the choir's activities, which included various workshops, Choir Festivals, and the annual performance singing at the Lloyd Center during Christmas time. The year was a busy and prospective one for A Cappella. A Cappella also performed at the four major concerts of the year. These were the Fall Concert, the Christmas Concert, the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert. Familiar selections heard at the concerts were 'Lubera me', Pie in the Sky , and 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic . Besides learning music and expressing themselves vocally, the A Cappella Choir had lots of fun working together as a group during their fund raising projects. Mr. Timothy stated, 'Though there was a lack of boys we had lots of potential to be a good choir. This was a great group. 16 A Cappella Choir ABOVE: Juniors Nick Lane, Debbie Gibson, Dave Small, Sylvia Als- leben, Dale Sanford, and Darlene Arnold patiently wait for class to begin.
