' Fred 9 inspires Band throughout year Considering the fact that we were bring- ing in a new teaching system with different methods and a new direction, ! feel it was an absolutely incredible year. stated first year Band Director Mickey Stisher. • ' He can make you do things without yell- ing; he really makes you want to excel for yourself, commented Junior Susan Gan- ion. This has without a doubt been a Cin- derella Year. ' ' so to speak, said Mr. Stisher. A division I rating in the Winchester Dis- trict Competition, a high ranking finish in the Greenwood Invitational, and a fifth place finish in state finals, are achieve- ments you might not expect from a band with 34 freshmen and a rookie director. A new director was not the only addition this year. For the first time a the band had a mascot. Fred was a great inspiration and a great example for the band when they were down, explained Senior band member Laurie Russel. Fred didn ' t come out of no- where though, actually Fred is Mr. Stisher ' s cat, and when the band was down, it was Let ' s do it for Fred! Fred was not only an inspiration to the Marching Band, but also to the Concert Band, which performed in the Christmas Concert and Spring Rhythms, and also competed in the ISSMA High School Orga- nizational Contest. If you were at the basketball games you heard the Pep Band, which brought to you many popular tunes during the home games. In addition to Concert Band and Pep Band, there is also a Jazz Ensemble which for the first time this year gave a Jazz con- cert. The Jazz Ensemble not only performs for the public, but also participated in Di- mensions in Jazz at Ball State University and Elmhurst Jazz Festival in Fort Wayne. The officers for the band this year were Michelle Dorethy, president; Doug Mount, vice president; Nancy Hanson, secretary and Laurie Russel, treasurer. Just what you might expect from Junior Dean Ja- derston is trombone excellence as he entertains the crowd at the annual alumni parade. Brass — Freemar - Nottinghar Sanders, . ' ■ ' ston, Simpson.
