Concert Band Supplies depth The Concert Band added depth and musical talent to the South Band roster. The music performed included various overtures, pop and rock melodies. Winter and spring concerts were performed by the Concert Band. The Concert Band was comprised mainly of freshmen and sopho- mores. Musicians who played in- struments needed by the Marching Cougars occasionally supplemented that unit at performance. The overall activities of the band helped promote school spirit as some of the members participated in the Pep Band during the basket- ball season. 1. Brass players added pizazz with their crisp, clear notes. 2. The percussion section kept the beat rolling during practices and concerts. 3. Training musicians in the Con- cert Band, Mr. Bob Harder assures himself a good source for upper level bands. 4. Mel- low are the sounds from the clarinets, flutes and saxophones of the woodwind section. 'f al s aa H 7 2 . ' s H I
