The band also performed in the River Festival, Christmas and Homecoming parades. The Marching Band could also be seen on two occasions at local hotels perfor- ming for business sales meetings. Acting crazy and providing lively music for pep assemblies and home basketball games was the most common association to the Pep Band. Dressed in yellow shirts shirts most of the time, but on occasions in Army greens as special forces , the Pep Band worked together to arouse spirit for the school. With the Orchestra being a little more down to earth. much time was spent in rehearsal. This time paid off as the Or- chestral received three l ratings at Music Contest.

The students housed the visiting guests in their tome for one night and had a concert for Qhem. The Singers received a 1 rating at Regional and State Music Contests. The Northwest Singers had a little bit different attire. The guys wore grey dress jackets and lack pants, and the girls wore red and blue tailor type dresses. l Also receiving top ratings at Regional and Music Contests was the SSA Choir. Membership in this choir was based on audition and students were required to spend many hours in extra practice sessions and performances in the community. These girls wore blue dress suites and white shirts. Through out the year the Sophomore choir spent quite a bit of time in rehearsal. In the beginning of the year, the choir mainly worked on scales and rehearsing the music. This enabled them to get used the director, Vernon Nicholson, and to the ever active vocal music department at Nor- thwest. Later on in the year, the Sophomore Choir participated in the Winter and Spring concerts and the Bearlesque show. The choir had a unique uniform dress code. The females wore red sailor dresses and the males wore white shirts with grey slacks and a tie. This made for a clean cut appearence. All the choirs spent a lot of time working outside of regular class time. Class time was approximately 55 minutes in length. Many mornings were spent before school and lunch hours rehearsing for upcomming per- formances. During the week before Beatles- que, the entire vocal music department spent evenings rehearsing for the show, besides morning and lunch time rehearsals. -Kelli Brown Vocal Music 0 101
