usic akers Hard Work Pays Off for Band members M usic, rehearsals, concerts, pep rallies, and football games made up only part of the busy schedule of the band. Even before school started, pre- school rehearsals rang from the band room during the evening hours in August. lt's really not that bad, laughed sophomore band member Darla Ollard. lt could be worseg we could have to do it in the morning! After marching through muddy football fields and freezing through the games, the band performed con- certs and student assemblies, marched in parades, try-out for all- region and all-state bands, attended solo-ensemble contests, and played at the commencement. Sure it's a lot of work, said sophomore band member Adele Brooks, but it is fun. Mr. Richard Peer directs the band at the Junior Steve Niss clowns around a little Northside vs. Southside game. before a long practice session

otes I Chorus ' Memorable UITIGS with music Preparing for any choir perfor- mance meant hours of work for the singers who made up the dif- ferent vocal groups. And these musi- cians were in demand. From singing before the student body to performing in Central Mall for Christmas shopper, the Southside vocalists were busy throughout the year. In addition, the students also participated in com- petition such as the All-Region and All-State. Choir is a long haul, but it's all worth it in the end, Bill Moates, junior, explained. Mr. Winston Turpin, music direc- tor, could be found almost any day of the week putting the singers through their vocal exercises. One method which he found successful was the device of having the students sing by numbers and then on a nutra- vowel sound. Only when the song was well engraved upon the minds of the singers did they rehearse with words. Mr, Turpin is one of the best, Bill added. He really cares about us. 225 V .. ,, H WM 4 vmaffk 'nj ,.'f,,'fw?' ff , ,jfff gt , , MW, ,,, 1 t ,, ,, .,, W I al Qs N-L4 VN-. tx QE wma Seniors Ken Haga and Mixed Chorus is performing its Danny Gramlich are concert for first period on loading for competition at Russellville.
