Photo by Robert Miller We do it all for you Band members work for 'change' to give audiences something new when selecting music, planning shows he 160 band members consis- tently gave their all to please audiences, because, in the words of senior drum major Kellie Sheffield, that is what we are there for. When we do a concert or a marching show, it's for the audience, she said. We are there because we want to entertain and please. That is our major goalf' Kellie added that pleasing an audience begins well ahead of the performance. We try to pick music that the audience will like, she said. We also try to pick a wide variety of music so that all age groups will be entertained. Pleasing an audience required change and a lot of work, Kellie said, especially during marching season. When we do a marching show we try to do things that are different, and that means giving the audience something new every week, she said. I-Iowever, Kellie said, the work required to please an audience is rewarding for the band members. We do work hard, she said, yet we enjoy working because it's fun, and we love to get compliments from others. The band's talent and dedica' tion didn't go unnoticed. Forty- eight members made All-Region band, and the group was invited to play for a national convention for band directors in Hot Springs. The accomplishments were rewarding, Kellie said, but audience reaction was equally important. Their compliments are sim- ple, she said. just a smile or a few nice words. But it lets us know our audience is pleased, and next time we try even harder. - By Karen Salmon We do it all for you!65
