I he Concert Band is arranged in order of ability; first chairs being the most capable musicians. I he hand played a concert for the grade school students January 21 in the high school gymnasium. Some of these youngsters even got to direct the band. The band participated in the district music contest held at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in April. Many small hand groups were also entered in the con- test. Other performances given by the hand were a winter concert in March and a spring concert in May. Stage Band Stage Hand at I’laltsmouth High School started as an added attraction to the original Concert Band in 1967. Slowly, the Stage Hand entered more competition and began to supplement the Concert Band recordings. The group grew and gained experience to become one of the high school’s most recognizable entertainers. Their distinctive style of music ranges from the big. swing sounds of the ’40’s to hard rock, and even into the progressive big hand sounds of today. Stage Band shows offer variety as well as musical enjoy- ment. Occasionally a vocal solo will appear or the stage w ill l c complimented by the Concert Band. Selection of Stage Band members is on the basis of an in- dividual’s tryout for Concert Band with upperclassmen getting first opportunities. 5 1 137 Sopiam Mv Director: Mr. Ronald Nelson Accompanist: (diris Henning Chorus President: Rich Manley Secretary: Tony Dillehay Librarians: Cheryl Liscnbarth Michelle Wipf t- Tenors Girls’ Glee and Small Ensembles 'rshman Quartet—Maynard Gesehke, udent Music Teacher, Stacey Beals, Carol 'olfert, Glenda Coble, Darlene Snyder.

The 295 yards tallied in kick-off returns by Scott Linder set a new record. Tom Ofe’s block of two punts also made the record books. Co-Captain Linder showed that he was a good selection to lead the team. He was quar- terback, completing 52 of 116 passes, was sec- ond in scoring with 39 points, punted, re- turned punts, kickoffs, kicked extra points and led the monster chart in defense.
