e Sound Of ScUtite Under the direction of Mrs. Russell, both the Girls ' Concert Choir and the Saint Singers astounded people with their talents. After seeing and hearing them at the Winterfest Concert, junior Bryan Ruppert said, They were really good. I was really impressed. What had always been a mixed choir, this year was changed to the Girls ' Concert Choir. This gave a different sound than most people were used to. Junior Shannon Mozolan said, We work very hard warming up and practicing our songs for the concerts. The Concert Choir was limited to fewer performances than usual, but this did not cut down on their enthusiasm. Junior Amanda White said, We still have fun because we enjoy singing. We sing for ourselves as well as for the audiences. The Saint Singers had quite a few more presentations. They sang and danced for groups such as the faculty, the Rotary Club, and the senior citizens. Senior Lani Gourley said, We do really well at performances because we work well together. Because of this comradery, the highlight of the year was their trip to Anaheim. It gave them a chance to perform in a competition with choirs from other schools and spend a fun weekend together. The things both choirs really worked for, though, were the two concerts. Winterfest featured both the bands and the two choirs. Songfest took place in the spring and was an evening of song and dance starring the choirs of San Dimas High and Lone Hill Intermediate Schools. The Saint Singers highlighted the event singing many popular songs. pr fc At the Winterfest Concert. Senior Kevin Jonker acts out the part of Santa Claus while sophomores Bryan Furst.

7 e Scat ( oe 0 t Present at every football game and assembly, the Jazz Band and Concert Band combined under the new leadership of Mr. Barney Martinez to display their musical talents. Marching in the San Dimas Parade and in half-time shows were only some of their duties. Performing in the annual Christmas concert at Lone Hill was another opportunity to display their talent, and all looked forward to the May festival in San Francisco. Working together to achieve the best possible performances brought the previous band members and newcomers closer together. The lack of band members forced them to bring up a couple of Lone Hill students to make the band sizable. It ' s good experience and helps the band when we need more trombone players, said freshman Duke Beckford. Apathy towards the bands caused their number to decrease, but both bands held on strong and were optimistic about the future. Front: Jim Blake. Joe Jordan. Lori Militello. Lisa Allen. Marisa Vance.
