Their mission wasthat of organizing, rehearsing, and ulti- mately performing as a cohesive group of musicians. They began by presenting their first concert,as a part of Prism IV, only three weeks into the Fall quarter. Other activities included the first and last edition of the BAND- AID, which was their attempt at hu- morously informing the band members of the upcoming events through the medium of the printed page. The fin- ishing touch to this quarter, was the Thanksgiving concert. Winter quarter however, was any- thing but uneventful. Many hours were spent diligently practicing, both as a group and independently. Occasion-- ally, shrieks could be heard from the basement of the Fine Arts building as the phantom trombonist would fright- en the unsuspecting person feverishly rehearsing for the upcoming concert. This concert was performed during the Christian Band Conference, in which Cedarville College hosted eight high school bands from various schools in the Midwest. A highlight of the winter "It wasexhilerating to see the crowd stand to their feet." concert was the guest conductor, Mr. James Curnow. Spring quarter culminated our efforts over the past year. At this time, we were privileged to represent Cedar- ville College in various churches from Ohio to Washington. D.C. where the band participated in Baptist Funda- mentalism '84. It was exhilerating to see the crowd stand to their feet on the final note of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as performed by The Cedarville College Symphonic Band in Washington, D.C. Throughout the year, the band strove for unity in more than just a musical sense. During this Spring Tour, that goal was achieved and demon- strated by the fact that each person gave of themselves as unto the Lord. Truly the Lord did bless their efforts when they were careful to give Him the praise. by Brandi Fisher 132 symphonic Band
