Whether one preferred jazz, classical, or pop, the con- cert bands appealed to every taste. The Wind Ensemble was full of talent. Five band members were chosen for all state band as well as three alternates. Wind Ensemble attended CBA re- gional festival and the state large group festival in the spring. Often extra rehearsals were held so that the band was the best it could be. They also planned a concert band tour. Symphonic Band was prob- ably a little stronger than sym- phonic bands in the past. Mr. Darrell LaGuardia said, The band is predominately fresh- men and they're starting to sound more mature. They were playing grade three and four level music. Level five is college level music. Mr. John Icabone said, Jazz I is one of the finer Jazz pro- grams aroundf' Jazz I was se- lected for the Colorado Music Educators Association contest in Colorado Springs where they were one of the featured bands. Two Jazz I students were cho- sen to participate in the All State Jazz Band in Colorado Springs. Both Jazz I and Jazz II attended many contests and fes- tivals and put on three concerts. Percussion Ensemble was more of a personalized class where the students learned how to play different percussion in- struments and to play different styles of music. They also put on three concerts and attended festivals. They hosted a Percus- sion Ensemble in March. Over the years it had become a tradition for most concert bands to receive superior rat- ings at concerts and this year was no exception. Playing in a concert band provided a sense of belonging. Jr. Jennie Brossia said, We're kind ofa family, and us playing our music together brings us closer. Melissa Milcr WHILE SITTING AT the drums, cussion Ensemble often provided per- Soph.
