Chris Cioffi and soph- omores Brian Lee and Kevin Conklin glance at the upcoming music. Great Performances The audience was hushed as the lights of the auditorium dimmed and the curtain slow- ly began to open. Seated on stage was the 38 member Concert Band waiting at attention for director Mr. Yaremczak to begin conducting. As his arms raised into the air, the sound coming from the band was astonishing. Next the lights shone as the 30 member Chorus along with Ms. Davis walked onto the stage singing harmonious melody. Thus began the Winter Concert on De- cember 17. With that performance finished, Concert and Stage Band along with Chorus members looked forward to performing with one another once again in the spring. But where to go now after the long hours of prac- tice? That question was answered for the 21 member Stage Band, as they began practice for the Athletic Di- rectors Convention that was held in Atlantic City on March 23. Before this performance was given, mem- bers of the band had to spend many long hours practicing to compete in County Band. The final outcome of the competition was that six mem- bers received first chair. Before the Winter Concert took place, Chorus sang in the Fine Arts Presentation held on October 30 in the auditorium. Ms. Davis directed their singing; they became a smash hit. A performance was also given for the Women’s Club on December 15. As the year came to an end, the music and singing stopped, but the loud roar of the audiences’ clapping lingered on. 22 Organizations

Continuing Excellence As proof from the past years, the Blue Streaks Marching Band has once again put in another strenuous, but successful season. The action began during the summer, when almost all of the 40 member band attended Camp Log and Twig from August 29 to September 2. Their practice lasted eight hours a day and consisted of learning stepping in time, forma- tions, and music. After having practiced many long, hot, and tiring hours, the band was ready to compete. The first compe- tition was held on September 27 at North Warren. The squad received 4th place. Next on October 11 at Pompton Lakes they improved their ratings with an excellent. At their last competition, held on October 22 in Phillipsburg, they received an- other rating of excellent. When asked how she felt about the season, senior Nikki Pante ex- claimed “It was a good group. Ev- erybody got along well; there was good team work and group effort. The season really paid off this year for the band. With the tunes on key and all feet synchronized, excel- lence continued. Hi there! With their hands raised in the air and their faces gleaming with enthusiasm, sophomores Tricia Dinger and Stephanie Wildrick along with senior Amy Andreeko perform their routine at halftime of the North Warren game.
