Outstanding musicians honored Good food, good friends, awards and all that jazz. That's what the 1980 Band Ban- quet was. The supper was a pot luck from the Band Parents, the entertainment was the Bellevue East High Jazz Band, who jammed their way into the banquet with some oh-so-cool tunes. After the performance, the awards were presented by the M.C.’s of the evening, Mr. Skip Kull and Mr. John Brooks, Director and Assistant directors of the band, re- spectively. Among the honors pre- sented were gifts to the “Band Aids,” and gifts, in turn, to the di- rectors and their wives. But then; the awards ... Trisha Henning received the award for outstanding freshman band member. Christina Topliff re- ceived the award for outstanding senior band member. The band also received it’s two superior ratings for the marching season, and all the entries from the District Music contest received their ‘Vs. Letters were presented to the senior band members. Everyone lettered as a result of the fine per- formances turned in by the seniors members over their four years in high school band ... And that’s a nice way to spend an evening; good food, good friends, good jazz, and a few awards to make it look good. Les Chamness blew a mean horn for his contest solo, receiving a '1' rating. wets her reed down before her solo performance. Tee Eyster 26 Band Banquet

for Dinner Theater Smile Mary Freeburg, here is your big chance. Theater is a very good form of entertainment; but Dinner The- ater is even better. And it sure beats watching 'Mork and Mindy’ with a T.V. dinner. For the second year in a row, the Plattsmouth High Drama De- partment held a dinner theater in conjunction with the Food Ser- vices Class, under Mrs. Jacque Gaebel’s supervision. The menu included tossed sal- ad, baked chicken breast, green beans almondine, baked potato with sour cream and butter, din- ner rolls and miniature chocolate pies. Mrs. Gaebel called the Dinner Theater a “learning experience” for the members of the Food Ser- vice class, stating that they would get very little other oppor- tunity to work in a restaurant situ- tation elsewhere. The total number of people at- tending the Dinner Theater was set at 120 for the 3-night run. Mike-shows Mrs. Gaebel how hard he can work for a grade. Dinner Theater 25
