Band The St. Stanislaus Marching and Concert band has had a terrific year with over 12 public performances to its credit. The program headed by Mr. Howard Weaver, includes students from St. Stanislaus as well as some students from Our Lady’s Academy. During the 1986-’87 school year the Marching Band per¬ formed “half-time shows” during eight of the Varsity football games, orchestrated most of the music for the annual “Christmas Cantata,” and put together a small ensemble for the Christmas Mass. The Marching Band consistently participated in ‘‘pep rallies” and other school related functions. Several musicians have par¬ ticipated in various individual honor activities such as the Lion’s All-State Band tryout, the Gulf Coast Clinic and solo and ensemble festival, the State Band Clinic and the Junior High Solo and Ensemble festival. In February and March th e marching band marched in two local area parades. And at the end of the year, the Concert Band provided excellent entertainment with its annual Spring and Awards Concerts. Mr. Weaver notes — “This is a very good 36 piece band which possesses lots of enthusiasm and ability.” Band officers for 1986-1987 were: Darren Hazeur, President; Mark Margiotta, Vice-President; and Suzanne Hille, Secretary-Treasurer. Drum Majorette was Crystal Davidson. —t r- The 1986’87 Rockachaw Marching Band: Fourth Row — Crystal Davidson, Clifford Ling, Charles Russo, Bill Barker, Ronald Martin, Daniel Berry, Colin Schmit, Mark Margiotta, Billy Saunders, Alex Biro, Chris Echezabal, Jim Watts; Third Row — Ramona Martinez, Gina Parricco, Wendy Joseph, Suzanne Hille, Sheila Farve, Angela Melancon, Jennifer Dagnall, Maria Blaize; Second Row — William Stevenson, Peter Blakey, Carl Bolian, Michael Pickich, Lori Heavey, George Holder, James Benigno, Darren Hazeur, Robert Heitzmann; First Row — Andy Johnson, Joseph Overal, Chris Delgado, Sean Palmer, Ronald Kendricks, Jared Martzell, Daniel Fagot, David Warman, Troy Ostarly, Leslie Landry. 18 Features

Barbershop Chorus Four people singing together may not seem exciting at first, but when they’re singing Barbershop — that’s a whole other story. Barbershop singing consists of either a quartet or chorus singing four different parts to the same music. The lead carries the main melody while the baritone, bass, and tenor harmonize with him. Barbershopping is fun! It gives people a chance to shine, a chance to do what they’ve always wanted to do . . . burst out into song! Brother Pierre St. Pierre, S.C. was the moderator of this activity and did more than a fantastic job. 20 Features
