Titans Raid Oakland In October Mr. Green, the marching band, flags and rifles hard at work were rewarded when they were invited to perform during the Oakland Raiders!Denver Broncos halftime. Arrangements were made by Mr. Gary White la former scout for the Raidersj as Mr. Green and the band perfected their drill. The drill featured Fiddler '77 - a medley of tunes from Fiddler on the Roof. Practicing at 6:30 in the morning everyone became involved. Even those living within blocks of the school were involved as they were awakened by the patter of frozen feet and the inspiring sounds of Sunrise, Sunset. . -4 if . -f ,A Opposite Page: Titans both 'look good' and relax during the Oakland weekend. From benti ng pent-up emotions at a Fledding, California lunch stop to performance perfection, the final exhiliration was simple exhaustion! Practice resumed in the evenings from 6:30 to 9:30, just in time to put the neighbors to bed again with Sunrise, Sunset. During a two week period the band succeeded in raising 820,000 and the backing of the community for theirtrip. On October 13, five brand new Greyhound busses and 150 stir crazy band members rolled out of the University City parking lot for Oakland, California. When performing they never failed to receive a standing ovation with 65,000 in the Oakland Raiders stands. M wvwswa 9'-5... Perfecting the show before the big game. 158

Choir Advances U-Hi choral groups amassed an impressive performance recrod in 1977178 being involved in over 30 concerts, competitions and demon- strations all under the direction of Mr. Dave Cross, who joined the U-Hi staff in September after working at Shoreline Community Col- lege. Mr. Cross termed his new position Great! I loved it, it was super. He feels the department saw a good turn-around with significant expansion and growth. Perhaps the biggest honor this year was the Jazz Choirs' invitation as demonstration group for the EWMEA's annual convention. Jazz Choir also participated in the Jazz workshop at Eastern Washington University, and the Tri- Cities Jazz Festival in April. Choir performed in six concerts and compe- titions giving beginning music students ex- perience and skills to later work with Advanced and Jazz Choir.
