xp' f 1i'. ,1w ,ai W qv Noelle liruwn MEMBERS OF THE Wind Ensemble practice for their upcoming Winter Band concert on February 18. Wind Copy: Debbie Truudl I.uyoul: Christina Vurtunc , f AR UPERIOR PERFECT TIMING IS needed for playing a musical instrument as Jr. Graham Lisman finds out. It was espe- cially critical to come in at the right time. U., I Melissa Milcr ht :Q f Yfgii. . at -qc-g Ensemble put on two concerts during the year. BANDS They had something for ev- eryone. 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.

'P src MAKER CECILIAN SINGERSXTREBELAIRES IN REHEARSAL, SR. Karin Sigdes- tad reviews the words of a song with Director PaulSmith. Practice paid off for the award winning choir. Noelle Brown Bon Jovi they weren't, and the phrase 'lBang Your Head really could not be used to de- scribe them, but two groups of students did have one thing in common with a hard rock band like Bon Jovi- music. The Ce- cilian Singers and Trebelaires were the advanced choirs of Overland's four. Trebelaires, an all girl choir, and Cecilian Singers with mem- bers of both sexes, had students of grade levels from sopho- mores to seniors. Jr. Cydney Rosenbaum said, I think the choir would benefit by having more seniors, so I hope the younger guys involved stay with it. Both choirs had great accom- plishments and received many compliments for their perfor- mances. Soph. Shana Carlson listed the activities of Trebe- laires: 'lThe choir performed for elementary schools, took a trip to C.U. to be critiqued, and planned a trip to California to sing at Disneyland and colleges on the coastline. In addition, Cecilian Sing- ers sang at the Broadmoor, an honor any choir can only have once every three years, ex- plained conductor Mr. Paul Smith. Smith wished more people were involved in choir. People who are involved realize how wonderful choir is. The easiest way to express yourself is with your voice. Choir benefited its members in many ways. Sr. Stacy Red- mond said, f'Choir gives people a positive reinforcement. It cre- ates a stage presence and gives people confidence in their voice. Also, Soph. Greg Mar- golin explained, Choir is a big group of people who become friends while trying to improve and enjoy one talent they all have in common? Choir, one of the many tal- ented school groups, was just one more example of the school's excellence. lt TREBELAIRES: FRONT ROW: Dir.
