Second Row: Kim Kittle, Sherri THE JUNIOR Varsity Band gives intermediate band students the opportunity to build on their basic knowledge of their band instruments in preparation for the Varsity Band. The J.V. Band joined with the Prep and Varsity bands in giving the January Spring Concert. THE SYMPHONY Orchestra of Saguaro is one of Saguaro's many outstanding per- forming organizations. The string section meets daily sixth period and is joined by brass, Woodwind and percussion members of the Sabercat Band for the portions of orchestral concerts. The selections performed by the orchestra ex- tend from classical works of Bach and Mozart to show tunes from musicals. It is hoped that the orchestra will increase each year in size as well as in musicianship. Both the J.V. Band and the Orchestra are directed by M-r. Kent VanWagenen. A -I - A 31 f- , i .

Half- Time Entertainment Provided By Band Having formed the Saguaro S with the Pom Pon Line, the band plays the Fight Song and the Alma Mater. At all of the games, the band displays a different figure accompanied by specially selected songs. Neither rain, snow, sleet, or hail could stop the Sabercat Band as demonstrated at the Homecoming Game against Yuma. They tromped through the rain-soaked field still playing jubilantly. Although the band is small, they still give an excellent perform- ance. HSABERCAT BAND, move down the field! This was heard many times as the band performed at half-time and pre-game shows during football sea- son. ln addition to football games, the band marched in parades, played for assemblies, participated in music festi- vals, and some of the members played in concerts and the school musicals. The band, under the direction of lVlr. Debs Valentine, initiated a first this year, Drum Major Walter Snell direc- ted the band with a saber. A great deal of time, energy and effort was spent by every member of the band making this year the most successful Drum Nlajor, Walter Snell leads the band down the field during half-time. His vigorous pace keeps the band in perfect marching rhythm. BAN D 69
