An Apple A Day Consistent practicing is a vital part of any music program, whether it be class- room elementary choirs, private music lessons, band, or high school choir. Miss Becky Phillips works with each upper elementay class choir once per week and the lower elementary choirs are taught by the individual class teachers. Speaking of teachers, Southside gained several new music teachers this year. joining the ranks are Mrs. Shelley Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. lim Roschi, Mr. Ron Fox, and Mr. Ken Nolen. Other music instructors are Mrs. Pauline Wood, who is the Private Music Coor- dinator, Mrs. Becky Wood, Miss Lynn Cummings, Mrs. lan Alexander, Miss Becky Phillips, Mr. Eric Sipe, Mr. joe Wood, and Mr. Gordon Mason. The credit for the private music program goes to these devoted personnel. Parents also have a part in making a successful private lesson system. En- forcement of practice requirements and attendance at recitals are their main obligations. Practice, teachers, and parents, along with a lot of self-discipline and hard work are what make Southside's music program play.

'he senior high band under the direction of stu- lent-teacher Eric Sipe performed superbly at the all concert. ES The high school band of 1982 had an extra sparkle over the bands of the past. The band really sounded fantastic, thanks to the addition of a new tuba and a fluglehorn. To commemorate the pur- chase of the tuba, the band performed the Tuba Concertina at the spring concert. A new feature of the high school band department was the opportunity for some band members to travel with the choir on choir tour. Other special opportunities included the State Solo and Ensemble Festival in Columbia, the South Carolina Fine Arts Festival, and our own music contest. David Starnes, Bonnie Thoennes, and Grace Ruffner show intense concentration as they per- form with the junior high band. Bands 81
