L. Maulden, the Northwest Cabarrus High School Band received high recognition. Long hours of practice, many which were in the summer months, were spent by the band members. Intricate formations and marching drills were repeated over and over to assure the football fans of excellent half-time shows on Friday nights. ln recognition of the band's abilities, the Northwest Marching Band was invited to perform at Davidson College. Displaying the season's gaiety, the band also participated in the area's local Christmas parades. After marching season, the band members concentrated on learning breathing, tonation, and fingering techniques. These skills were displayed through the Christmas and Spring concerts and at state contest in Greensboro. Through the band students gained a greater appreciation and understanding of all kinds of music. Mr. Maulden's belief -that a good band should excel in both marching and concert season-is put into effect as he directs the band in a lively contest number. Mr. C. L.

Mr. Richard Keasler A.B.g Catawba College Chorus ff? Uzkz 012 Cerfs, jfaffme 0 ws, anoffracfzbe The Choral Department at Northwest Cabarrus, under the direction of Mr. Richard Keasler, has grown and expanded into the excellent and well-rounded program now available to all interested and capable students. The continuous practice during school and after-school hours, combined with the determination and desire of the chorus members, has assured our school of a superior chorus. Selected groups of students were chosen to participate in the extracurricular activities of the chorus, such as the Mars Hill and Chapel Hill Choral Clinics, the Greensboro All-State festival, and the all-important, annual choral contest in Charlotte. The chorus performed before the student body several times this year, at the Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert. Other performances at churches, banquets, and special meetings rounded out the active schedule of the chorus. Due to the dedication and determination of both Mr. Keasler and the chorus members, the Choral Department has become a vital, and growing part of Northwest life. Chorus members take full advan- tage of class- room time to rehearse the up- coming Christ- mas concert. f Z1 f ,L . 72 '
