FINE ARTS CLASSROOMS Music students found themselves lost in the sound of music. ln the 196-4 school year, as in past years, Prospect's Music Department strove to improve the vocal and instrumental mu- sic programs. To help reach this goal Prospect hired two new teachers. Aiding Mr. Sterling Mische in the vocal department was Mr. Terry Blackley. The first three periods of the day were devoted to organizing and enriching the Freshman Girl's Cho- rus, Girl's Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Choir. Each of these groups performed for Parent's Night in October, the Christ- mas and Spring Concerts, and the District 214 Music Festival. The instrumental music department was under the new di- rectorship of Mr. Howard Sandlund, assisted by Mr. Blaclcley. With the help of some talented seniors including drum major, Scott Nyquist, the band executed precision half-time shows at the football games, thus furthering the high reputation of Prospect's Marching Band. A new pep band was organized to accompany the student body with the school song at pep as- semblies. ff ET fi7fi7?W','T77'WZiT 17 7' ,N , A V L ,c.c . , 1 Music comes in all shapes and sounds. . .
