Stage Band One of Five Bands in Florida The music program was made up of students from all backgrounds at Rickards. These students all worked together for a common goal. They gained a greater understanding of music in learning by doing. lVlr. Don lVlcLaurin, band director, felt that the band program was an intricate part of the total school pro- gram. lVlr. Byron Smith, music direc- tor, included as a part of the music program a lap pack for learning. The Stage Band, as a part of learning, went to Tampa to the State Fair. It was one out of five bands chosen in the state. Other trips included the Nlarching Band to Perry for a parade, solo and ensembles to concert con- test festival in Panama City, and the state contest in Gainesville. ln the music program Rickards Sing- ers and ensembles went to District Concert in Panama City. They also traveled in the Spring Concert Tour in lVlay. Two students from the music department went to all-state chorus. They were Kathy Pittman and David Sawyer. The only new addition to the music program was the formation of the Folk Jazz Ensemble. The band and music programs were designed not only for those students interested in a career in music but also for students who were inter- ested in a musical hobby. 60 W' W 'V' lf lt 3 ,,, 2 f f MR.
