The students rush out, at last it's time to go home, but many of these students don't leave before quickly picking up an instrument and music from Mr. Alter's music room. The enthusiasm that these students share is a major reason they've had such a successful year. Their long hard hours of practice payed off. Not only did the practice pay off for Southwest as a whole, but many stu- dents also reached goals of their own. Seven students managed to make Dis- trict Band, including: Paul Roberts, Alan Mehl, Willie Jackson, Peter Thomas, Derrick Henderson, Gayle Cheatum, and Robin Bennett. One also made All State Band: Paul Roberts. 26 1 CONCERT BAND In band you must make District Band to try out for All State Band. This is not true however for Orchestra. Two students managed to make All- State Orchestra, and they were Jill Lowry and Catherine Lewis. Concert Band was very succesful this year with their many performances and with several small ensembles and solos. Many new and old bodies made up the band, and were they ever hard working. Christine Coveney, alto clari- netist, commented, The band's much larger this year than in a long time. People are working together really well. Their marching season was also very successful, marching for such events as the American Royal and the Veteran's Day Parade, where they served as the con't on page 28 . . . Q ?

They were also well appreciated at the many home football games at which they entertained. Orchestra has been very appreciated this year. They never cease to improve themselves. As clarinetist Tim Lewis said, Orchestra was really keen this year. All of the sections have improved which made it so special. This showed up very much during their perfor- mances throughout the year. They re- ceived praise throughout the year, not only for their playing, but even for their good spirit and cooperativeness. Orchestra was also quite successful with competition and small ensembles 281 ORCHESTRA and solos. Remember that old hat in the attic? The silly looking one with flowers growing out of it? Well, the students of Pep Banned sure do, and once again they've pulled out those silly hats for the many basketball games they played at this year. Everything from Little Bo Peep to Cone Heads, all managing to put a heartful of spirit into the many students, faculty, and parents--and lets not forget the basketball players- at each game they attended. Pep Banned was also very successful playing at the U.M.K.C. tournament in early January. How's that for stardom. Con't on page 30 . . .
