Mr. Delaney's motion provides guidance for orchestra during fourth period. FIRST ALL-ORCHESTRA PERFORMANCE GIVEN chestra, under the direction of Mr. Dean Delany, culminated its independence from band with the first all-orchestra concert at Wasson. Presenting stand- ard symphonic repetoire, orchestra, with a guest ap- pearance bythe Choristers, performed in concert on November 26. Orchestra's agenda was a busier one than in pre- vious years. The All-Youth City Orchestra Concert was held February 2 at Armstrong Hall, Colorado College: also, members who were selected for All-State Orches- tra via tape recorded auditions attended rehearsals February 9 and 10 in Boulder. As the school year pro- gressed, orchestra provided music for Finian's Rain- bow performed at a concert in conjunction with Sym- phonic Band, and entered an Ensemble Contest in March where a panel of judges offered criticisms of the presentations. Orchestra class was held the same hour as band, thus offering wind musicians the chance to play in a string group, and giving the orchestra and band teach- ers the opportunity to utilize the school day without after-school rehearsals.

Still life reflections set a moody background DANCE BAND REVIVES SOUNDS OF '30'S ' '40'S tan Kenton? Tommy Dorsey? Les Brown? Sounds reminiscent of the big bands emanated from Dance Band practice sessions as the fifteen members prepared for a series of eight concerts. Three assem- blies, a PTA meeting, one of Wasson's basketball games, and performances at Horace Mann and East Junior High Schools made up the itinerary for Dance Band's 1968-1969 year. In a special appearance, Dance Band was presented in affiliation with the T- Bird Band's February concert. An innovation in Dance Band was, as a supple- ment to the regular Junior-Senior Dance Band, the forming of the Sophomore Dance Band. Desiring a more experienced Dance Band for future years, Mr. Mills introduced sophomore members to the dance band style of music, chord structure and jazz obligatos.
