For the past three years, the concert band has not gone to contest. This gives the students more time for solo and ensemble preparation, and the director more time in which to help them. This year district solo and ensemble contest was held at Shelbyville and state contest at Areola. Because of sickness, two soloists shown in the picture at the right, Jo Ann Ris-ley and Joe Hortenstine, were unable to attend contest. Soloists take time out from practicing and memorizing to have pictures taken. They are: STANDING: Karen Shafer, bass clairnet; Fred Begeman, clairnet; Joe Hortenstine, trombone; Jo Ann Risley, clairnet; SEATED: Tom Haney, baritone saxophone; and Bonnie Haney, baritone. District Solo and Ensemble Contest Entries Due to sickness the brass quartet got a late start, but made up for it by long hours and hard work during the week before contest. They are: Bonnie Haney, John Wiley, Allen Bennett, and Joe Hortenstine. Compliments of GARY N. COOPER Jeanette Adams and Lynn Horn strive for a superior rating with their alto sax duet.
