IMPROVED BANDS GETS NEW DIRECTOR The Instrumental music department surprised many visitors at the Pops concert with their high quality improvement over last year. In the tradition of the Pops concert, the band performed some popular songs. One of the crowds favorites was If You Leave Me Now, written by Chicago. They were great! said junior Jeff Carlson. In the middle of the school year, long term instrumental director Lamar Jolly had to stop teaching for medical reasons. His replace- ment was Nelle Ross. Mrs. Ross was the orchestra director for the spring musical, The Boyfriend , working many evenings with the musicians and the cast. She was also present for the music tour this spring that traveled into North Easter into Washington. The members of the Stage Band did not have a specific class this year. To get enough practice, the dedicated group came every morning before school to learn new music and practice. The musicians are a wonderful group to work with, commented Mrs. Ross.
