In an attempt to meet the almost impossible task of toning down the volume of its music, the members of the Brass Choir await their directions from Dr. Faulkner during the Christmas Concert. Scheduled to be performed outside, the concert was rained in. BRASS CHOIR High Quality Musicionship Proven During Concerts Under the guidance of Dr. Maurice Faulkner the UCSB Brass Choir continued its schedule from previous years of participation in several noon concerts, held in the Mu- sic Bowl ' s miniature amphitheater. Their performance of the annual Christmas Concert provided an added chal- lenge to both conductor and musicians due to the fact that it rained, and the concert was forced inside. Each per- formance showed the increasing quality of musicianship. UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY Graduate Conductors Aid In Concert Performances Benefiting from the new program of graduate conducting, University Symphony director Ronald Ondrejka enlisted the aid of two assistant conductors, Orbie Ingersoll and Martin Sobelman in this year ' s concert schedule. Three major concerts highlighted UCSB ' s cultural cur- riculum in 1967-68. Dr. Peter Pricker ' s performance of Seven Counterpoints for Orchestra dominated the March concert, with special music being written for many of the group performances during the season.

Attaining their usual professional level performance, they were kept quite busy throughout the year singing at high schools, JC ' s, universities, and community organizations. Under the direction of Music Department Chairman Carl Zytowski, the club held their annual Fall Concert on the UCSB campus. Winter quarter saw a series of evening Valentine concerts at the campus residence halls, followed by a full week ' s tour of Northern California.

MU PHI EPSILON Elementary Schools Given Musical Demonstrations As a women ' s music sorority, open to music majors and minors, Mu Phi Epsilon also acts as a service organization for the University and the Santa Barbara community. Members serve as ushers for Arts and Lectures and the Music Department, as well as conducting their own pro- grams. Continuing their classroom music demonstrations for local elementary schools and their annual pumpkin sale for scholarship awards, the group also put on three recitals and sponsored the recital of the 1966 Sterling Staff Con- test winner, Ann Marie Obressa. A light Christmas pro- gram for the Faculty Women ' s Club and a joint program with the Santa Barbara alumni exhibited their versatility.

Structured musical groups facilitate discipline and unity in the wdrld of sound. However, the solitude of a novice plucking on his simple instrument is an enviable expression, too, for it allows individual release and a chance to meld with the spheres. 241
