Once split, the MV orchestra was held together by 13 members. Because only four members composed the string ensemble, it was mixed with Orchestra for this year. This brave group competed at the annual Mount Hood Community College Orchestra Festival in March. Although they didn't place, members did enjoy the trip to Washington Park Zoo and OMSI. New director was Christopher Wilson, who replaced Natalie Gray. Sharing Wilson's leadership was Bend High's Michael Scott, who worked with Wilson on all the concert projects. Both shared the duties of leading the group during practice and during concerts. Orchestra students noted the year was one of growth, although they did express the desire to have more members fill out their ranks.

VGCAL ENSEMBLE One Big, Happy Family ocal ensemble members spent time before, during and after school working on the perfection of the musical sound that they produced throughout the year. The group took first place in choir competition in San Diego, California. An excellent rating was given to the choir for their hard work, dedication and most of all, good sound. The ensemble sang for Christmas parties, for the retired teachers, the bowlers at Greenwood Bowl and the judges at the Madras Music Festival. The group performed in all but one concert and soloists sang out in the Solo Ensemble Contest at COCC. The jazz festivals which the group planned to attend in Newport and Pasco, Washington, were cancelled due to lack of funds. The main goal of director Rick Plants was to give each student a chance to perform as a soloist and improve his or her attitude about their voice. Plants was immensely proud of the ensemble and commented, They're the best l've had in my years of teaching. The group has an excellent blend and their sound is good. The kids are close which makes it like one big family. s JR J? Ensemble singers lift their voices high, Ron Houser serenades an audience
