Carrying on the tradition of seniors directing the numbers for the Pops Concert is Mindy Riggs. The Pops Concert has become a tradi- tional event for the senior band members who are asked to organize a year-end con- cert that features popular music from the past year. The seniors are in charge of the selection and direction of the music. Senior directors, this year, included Mindy Riggs, Kelly Monahan, Christy Eyler, and Melissa Huff. Selections from Lionel Richie and mu- sic from the sixties were popular with the audience. After a brief intermission, seniors Rod- ney Martin, Rich Reynolds, Gary Boswell, Kim Shockey, Duane McNairn, Todd Mick- ey. and Tim Miles directed the jazz band. Each member of this group directed a favor- ite piece from the jazz band’s musical li- brary. Vocal selections included You’re the In- spiration,” ‘‘What About Me.” and “Hello” featuring Todd Nickey, Tim Miles, and Taw- nya Laye. This year’s recipient of the Louis Armstrong Award for musical excellence in the jazz band was Kim Shockey. A full house and a standing ovation proved that the Pops Concert is a favorite with the com- munity. Pops Concert — 29
