1986 — A YEAR TO REMEMBER 'it is the best they have ever looked and played and you know why: it's because we could finally see the lines! smiled Mr. Schneeberger. One might wonder what in the world he was talking about. Well, everyone must remember the championship game at Camp Randall Stadium. The event was not only a joyous occasion for the MHS football team, but also for the MHS marching band. Marching in the stadium was a very exciting experience for each member. At the game, a tossed coin decided which band had the honor to play the national anthem. Smiles crossed all the MHS band members' faces when they won the coin toss. Where would MHS be without marching band or pep band? Whether they entertained the fans with a half-time filled with fun and enjoyable routines, or pepped up the crowd with the school song, they were more than appreciated. Winter sports would have been rather dull without a band to play along. The bands helped to rejuvenate the fans' spirit as well as the teammates'. Before games the band room became total chaos. After the game was worse. Members danced around the room to the Beer Barrel Polka, while shouting in order to discuss the evening plans. Just remember, the next time one goes to a high school event, that not only the team supplies the entertainment and excitement out also the students in the red sweaters sitting in the bleachers with the instruments.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD It was the best experience I've ever had! It was well worth the money! replied Kelly Knoke, a member of the AFS program who spent her summer abroad in Uruguay. In Uruguay she studied the culture of a people very different from our own. Among the other AFS students, Neil Whitehead travelled to Peru and Robert Vickerman spent a wonderful experience in Paraguay. Our own MHS AFS student, Mario Moran, spent an entire year in Monroe staying with the Whitehead family. Area Monroe families hosted eleven AFS students for a traditional, cross cultural AFS Fair Day weekend. Exchange students represented Germany, Japan, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, France, Turkey, Chile, and Argen- tina. All of the students were current AFS representatives living with host families in Dane or Grant counties. Their stay in the area included student and family get-togethers, spending a day with their hosts in school, a Monroe High School basketball game, a dance, tours of the Swiss Chateau Cheese Store, WEKZ, an afternoon of curling and a progressive supper. Wrapping up the weekend, a potluck with slide presentations was held at MHS for all the families. AFS was a very fun and learning experience. For students who loved to adventure abroad and to discover the cultures of other countries, AFS was the right place. 24 A.F.S.

MUSICAL VENTURE 'The best part of Ward-Brodt is that you can find any piece of music you want ' said Tanya Tupper, Wind Ensemble oboist. The band department set out on a musical field trip to Madison on a Sunday. Ward-Brodt, a major music store, was the first stop. There the students had a chance to play different instruments other than their own. Some never having been there before, walked in and saw a wide variety of merchandise. Instruments were the most obvious at first sight. Any instrument could have been tried. Separate rooms were provided for guitars and grand pianos, along with other instruments. Keyboards of every kind and size were set up for sample runs. Something new were the musical computers with programs made available for playing musical games. Along with numerous instruments, there were many types of music available. The musical library was alphabetized making it easier to find sheets of pop, classical, movie themes, books of music, and educational music. All of these were available to be sight-read by anyone wishing to do so. Ward-Brodt also had clothing designed with musical logos. But the logos did not stop just with clothing — one could find pencils, key chains, paper clips, jewelry, and many other items pertaining to various areas of music. Besides all of these services, Ward-Brodt made it accessible to obtain private music lessons and, if needed, repair instruments. After the band members sight-read music, tried new instruments, and shopped, they boarded the bus and traveled to Milz Concert Hall to listen to a concert performed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble. Students enjoyed the listenings while they advanced their musical culture. Marc Kohlbauer, Chris Farris, and Jim Kummer take a break during Concert Band. Band members performed four concerts during the year. Jenny Farris and Heidi Indergand practice their flutes for an upcoming concert. Students may buy their own instruments or loan them from the school.
