COMPETITION Continued from Page 1 Stanley who said the group be- gins practicing in December and that many of the students play something other than percus- sion in the regular band pro- gram. The group includes fifth and sixth-graders from all of the district’s elementary schools. Sarah Salus, of Shavertown is an 11-year-old student at Lehman-Jackson Elementary. She plays bells in the percussion group and clarinet in the band program and said the best part of the program for her is its big finish. Her reason for participat- ing? “It’s fun,” she said. “Mirrors” is the theme of the Lake-Lehman Indoor Color Guard program. The group just took first place at the Chapter 7 championships and is aiming high for the Atlantic title. According to director David Marsh, the group’s program ex- plores self-image and the colors in the program become pro- gressively brighter and bolder as a young person becomes his or her own person. The group made up of 14 girls and one boy uses flags, gun props and large mirrors to present an athletic program involving flag tossing with acrobatic choreography. Deanna Szabo, 17, of Hunlock Creek, is a senior. She says the group practices 20 hours a week and performs an outdoor fall season and a spring indoor sea- son. Szabo underlined how im- portant friendship is to her ex- perience with the group. “It’s the family atmosphere that keeps us coming back,” she said. Jessica Campbell, 18, of Lehm- an, is also a senior. She has been on the color guard team since eighth grade and said her favor- ite things about the program are “the people and the coaches.” For her, the group provides an escape from the pressures of high school life. But she empha- sized the demanding nature of the group. “You can have fun but you also have to work hard.” When it was their turn, mem- bers of the Lake-Lehman High School Indoor Percussion En- semble covered the gym floor with a giant tarp representing a highway for their program called GPS, including slides as well as music. Unlike the elementary group which was stationary, the high school percussionists move in their competition. Their pro- gram depicts a highway journey which begins at Lake-Lehman LUCAS FARMS CUCUMBERS ¥8994 [STRAWBERRIES 17° 10 LB.

Flashing and crashing cym- balists and focused drummers fanned out across the stage in complicated patterns. The front group of musicians stayed in place and included a drum set player, multiple keyboard instru- ments and percussion instru- ments. The music was complex, heavy on beat and rhythm and the noise level was rock-concert loud. According to David Gambal who directs the high school percussion ensemble, students benefit from music ensembles in various ways. “It’s the camarade- rie and teamwork,” he said. “It’s athletic.” Gambal should know as this marks his 20th year with the marching band and his eighth with indoor percussion. Brittney Mahony, 16, of Sweet 0% OFF: Valley, is a sophomore who plays trombone in the band pro- gram but is a bass drummer in the percussion ensemble. She knows about the athletic ele- ment as bass drums can weigh up to 35 pounds. She joined the group because it sounded fun. “I thought, I'll give it a try and I liked it,” she said. Andrew Leahy, 14, of Sweet Valley is an eighth grader at Lake-Lehman Middle School and a percussionist in the regu- lar band. His main reason for playing in the ensemble? “A love of music!” he said. Carolyn Price, 15, a sopho- more at Lake-Lehman, plays bas- soon in the band but also plays synthesizer and cymbals. She, like many of the other students, mentioned the sense of belong- ing which their group inspires. “Without it, I don’t know where I'd be,” she said. Hand's Imagery in Dallas.
