The sweepstakes award was the top honor of any event and was given to the band with the highest overall score. Ernie Maschner, that solemn looking person dressed in white and carrying the baton, also brought home several trophies including a well-earned first place from the Oceanside Parade. This year was one exciting event after an- other for the band members, such as per- forming in the Disneyland Main Street Pa- rade, the Charger football half-time show, and on the Sun-up San Diego program.

Take Note Good Quality Music - according to Di- rector Warren Torns, that's what the Orches- tra provided its listeners this year. High Quality, he said is the best way to describe these very talented musicians. Torns, how- ever, was not alone in his high regard for the orchestra. This group received many honors this past year. Perhaps the biggest honor was being selected to perform at the annual Cali- fornia Music Educators Associations Conven- tion in San Jose. All of the members were proud to be one of the only two orchestras chosen, but as one musician remarked, It was pretty scary performing for an entire audience of music teachers. ll t was pretty scary. Other high points of the year included the All-State Mt. Miguel Festival in April, and their yearly Winter Concert. Mr. Torns felt that one exceptional aspect of this orchestra was that, They don't use any of that wa- tered down music that some high school or- chestras playf' Another impressive fact is that most of the students participated in their spare time, after school and during lunch. The result of all this time and talent was indeed good quality music. Orchestra: Front Row: KL-Rl H. Wingard, J. Conrath, S. Knetzer, R. Kirksey. Row 2, C. Steffens, L. Stanley, L. Crall, M.
