Rich Hager, Joe Plummer, and Brian Weil keep a careful eye on the music, hoping to avoid any mistakes. A fanfare from trumpeters Ron Strahm, Mark Zemke, and John Danules adds a note of excitement to the begin- ning of a stirring march. 33

Concert, Jazz, Pep Bands Blazers Serve as inspiration l Jazz Band. FRONT ROW: Melanie Cybul, Mark McDonald, Tom Dale. SECOND ROW: Greg Marshall, John Cross, Kent Olson. When the Iazz and Pep Bands start to play some of the old standard tunes, people are sure to gather around. The members of these groups were all volunteers and. in addition to band classes, they met after school to practice and develop their own unique styles. Many band members also performed at the District and State Solo and Ensemble Festi- vals. Playing in groups or individually, they were graded by judges and once again Mason musicians returned bearing blue ribbons. The District and State Festivals for the Con- cert Bands also were special events, along with seasonal concerts. Enthusiasm in the band department was greater this year due to the new blazers Band I members Wore for all public performances. The foundation of the band department was the valuable time spent in class. This time Was used to increase the students' knowledge of music. Ninth Grade Band.
