A NEW IDEA in stereo equipment is the compact disk player. Though more expensive than other equipment, the improved sound quality was well worth the cost. LM-!,, Styles, choices differ widely Music popular escape: Music occupied a part of a person's everyday life. Whether it be while driving to school, watching TV, singing Happy Birthday to a friend in the halls, or at halftime of a football game, music be- came a basic part of a day. Though music was common in al- most all teenagers' lives, personal tastes in music varied from classical to jazz to more modern music like new wave or hard rock. Senior Rob Walker said he enjoyed most types of music, among them older rock and roll, classial, and jazz. Music gives me satisfaction, Walker said. What music I play depends on what mood I'm in. I put on what will satisfy me at the time. While some students prefered just to listen to music for personal enjoy- ment, others chose to take their musical interest further by participating in musi- cal activities. Classes such a band, orchestra, Court Choir, Ars Nova Cora, and Knight Sounds were offered for students in- terested in instrumental or vocal music. ' . :,Q.g g , , I .,... ,, DIRT CHEAP AND PICKLES are popularfor people who wanted to buy records. Chris Kessler and Corey Knop shop at Dirt Cheap for their favorite records. The reason I like being in singing groups is because it's fun being part of a family of friends that have the same interest as I do, said junior Cindi Pasco who participated in both Queen's Court and Court Choir. It's also an opportunity to really get to know people. Bands were also a way for people who had common tastes in music to get together and perform. I don't care about making money. It's just fun to play at places, said senior Stuart Larson who has been a part of many bands, one of which was called Island of the Misfit Toys. Larson along with four other band members com- posed and practiced original music. There are a lot of places you can go where you can see two or three really good local bands for a couple bucks. There is a big musical movement going on in Lincoln, and a lot of good music is being pIayed, said senior Matt Briggs. Whatever type of music preferred, music was a way to express feelings and to communicate with others. Music is emotional and interesting because you can see how the composer feels, said sophomore Chris Ellenwood. It's aform of universal communication. Larson felt music was important because it's away you can express your views and opinions. -Paula Danekas Music!19
