Band Creates the Background The band performed for many differ- ent events. The first activity, marching at the Kansas State Fair, yielded a I rating for the sixth consecutive year. Fall activities began with an evening pep rally, the first one in many years, on the baseball diamond, and the band performed for pep rallies and football games. Other performances were marching in the Ness City Christmas parade, a Christmas concert, and playing at bas- ketball games. The band traveled to the Jetmore regional basketball tour- nament and to the Pratt sub-state bas- ketball tournament. The WKEA league contest was held at Ransom and the band received a II. The band received a I at the State con- test which was held at Garden City. Three ensembles also entered con- tests. District contest, rescheduled from March 28 because of a second blizzard in one week, was held at Hays on April 4. State contest was at Linds- borg and 34 gold metals were brought home. At the spring concert Joel Fitzgerald received the Most Outstanding Senior Band Member Award and the John Philip Sousa Award. The final perfor- mance was at graduation exercises held in the gymnasium. League District Brass ensemble I I Woodwind ensemble It I Flute ensemble It I State I I I 1.

Singing Toward Success The NCHS Choir was an active group this year. The choir partici- pated in three concerts and four music contests. The first concert featured numbers by the full choir, girls’ glee, boys’ glee, a trio, Tina Beck, Dawn Tenny, and Dawn Werth, and three soloists, Lisa Eck- els, Bruce Cambron, and Sara James. The full choir, two girls' en- sembles, and one mixed group pre- sented the Christmas Concert. Nearing contest time, the group began working on two contest num- bers for full choir, three choice girls’ ensembles and two choice boys’ ensembles. The groups participated in music contests at Ransom, Hays, Garden City, and Lindsborg. Solo- ists were Bruce Cambron, Dawn Tenny, John Ross, David McCabe, and Jill Uehling who received a I at the State Contest. The spring concert, the final con- cert of the year, included all group numbers and solos by Jill Uehling, John Ross, and Dawn Tenny. The choir also performed ‘‘I'll Remem- ber You” at the high school gradu- ation ceremony. Girls' 12- Front row- Kassie Crombie. Dawn Tenny, Dawn Werth. Darla Goodman. Verla Slagle. Jill Uehling.
