The ludging was hard at the con test, and very few first division ratings were given, Mr. Marty said. The choir ' s II rating was the equivalent of excellent , he added. Overall, he said, he was very pleased with the trip because the group got It together musically and spiritu- ally. The trip was fun , added Heather Higgins. In addition, singers competed in the state Solo and Ensemble contest during the summer.

ll Lab band experiments in style Stage band members experimented with different styles of music rather than sticking to symphonic or concert music only, explained Mr. Tony Esquivel, band instructor. The stage band gave members a chance to learn more contemporary styles of music, such as rock and jazz, Mr. Esquivel added. In competition, the band received an outstanding rating at the UTSA jazz festival. Mr. Esquivel praised the entire band and particularly Brian Poteet and David Pickens who were elected to the All Star Jazz Group. In other activities, members of the stage band performed m front of thou- sands of people at an educational con- vention for students from Canada and the United States, added Mr. Esquivel. They also performed before a small crowd at the opening of MacAllistar Park, he added. Although most of the band members graduated last year, the new members did a very good job filling in the empty places, said Mr. Esquivel.
