Band Rock You Having a very few minutes to look over the music, these band students are really concentrating hard. frat, 51 Looking over a piece of music, these girls are discussing the high and low points of the piece. While DeSha Breland is practicing her solo, Harriett DeJarnett assists by turning the pages. 4:00 p.m. Let's make this the last time we go through it. If you get it right we'll go home early, said Mr. Williams. 5:00 p.m. and we're still here. Concert season is here. Practice for state contest and the spring concert is in full swing. At 2:55 while most students are headed for their cars the band members have just settled down for a long hard practice. The month before contest home for band members is the band hall. Many long hours are spent on marching, keeping their instruments in tune, and sightreading. Competition is tough and the judges are hard but for the last two years the Stone High Band has come out on top. After the long trip home from Mississippi State Contest practice isn't over. Approximately two weeks after State Contest the spring concert takes place, where once again the band puts on a superior performance. After all the work that's put in and your body's so tired you couldn't play another note or march another step, it all becomes worthwhile when the judges rate you all superior or an audience claps in approval.

Choir ,J- L T7 Ml an--f H Zia Breland, Rosetta Wash, Claudia Pachel, Juanese Joyner Mrs. Jerelene Jones ' .gov- V Q1 Excellence is the name of the game for the Stone High Choir that rated excellent at the Gulf Coast Tri State Festival in November. Willing to settle for nothing less than excellence, our choir usually does a superior job. Throughout the year the choir has worked very hard rehearsing many new songs for contest and preparing for their Christmas and Spring concerts. The choir did an excellent job of bringing the Christmas spirit into each person during the Christmas concert by singing favorite Christmas songs. Even with all the ordinary rehearsals and times they spent learning new songs, the choir spent many hours raising money through bake sales, garage sales, and candy sales, to earn enough money to go to Nashville in Nlay to compete with 49 other choirs. They also hope to go to Opry Land while there. Overall the choir has done an excellent job, under the direction of Mrs. Jerelene Jones. She has helped them win many outstanding awards. MusiclChoir 63
