Members of the wind ensemble are flutes, Delores Berndt '67 and Nancy Lilja '69; oboes, Kevin Dole '68 and Kathy Geertz '69; clarinets, Bob Schwenke '68 and Peg Loebach '68; horns, Dave Larson '68, Steve Smith '69, Rhonda Sundquist '69 and Pam Triebe '67; bassoons, Hank Blau '67 and Sharon Brownell '67; and tuba, Frank Grange '68.

The Concert Band will present the "Suite Francaise" by Milhaud, folk songs of France, "A Short Ballet for Awkward Dancers," "Mexican Shuffle" by the Tijuana Brass, and a preview of the music from The Flower Drum Song, the all school musical to be presented in the spring.

Mr. Michael Cuthbert, assistant director of bands, commented, "This promises to be a fast moving program with something for everybody." Mr. Cuthbert will direct the wind ensemble and the Cadet and Intermediate combined bands.
