Aneven mix of adult and student musicians, LSHS director music Howard Alexander conducts the band through their paces, stopping every know and again to cor- rect someone's tempo, or to tell someone that they came in at the wrong time. "Some pieces we have worked on from the beginning (three months ago);" Alexan- der says. "But for some pieces we'll only have two rehearsals to get them ready. It all North Shore Band practice last Thursday night in Schreiber. The band has been practicing for its comeback Christmas concert Dec. 12. They have eight selections pre- pared for the evening, and will share the stage with other local perfomers , including the Show Choir. THANK YOU : The T.B.M.H.

"Then there's 'Christmas Episodes', which takes three years to learn," laughs band member Kim Alexander. Christmas Episodes is a piece written by Howard Alexander that, so far, the band hasn't quite been able to get a handle on. The band will play eight pieces at the Dec. 12 Christ- mas Concert at the Schreiber Campus. The band will play Dr. Rock, Modal Song and Dance, Send in the Clowns, Variations on an English Folk Song, Rudolph's Christmas Overture, Silver Bells and Christmas Portrait. Also featured at the concert will be performances by the Grade 9 Music Class, the Woodwind Ensemble, the Adult Choir, the Show Choir, The School Choir, and the Brass Ensemble. There will also be flute solo by Nancy Garon, and a com- puter music piece, in which a student "edits" a music com- puter program, composing a piece played by the computer. "So the computer controller is actually: the performer," Howard Alexander says. It's the' last Thursday of the month, and that means it's cof- : fee and snacks night. During the break, the atmo- sphere in the coffee room is relaxed, and jokes and laughter flow quite freely. "Sometimes I just pretend I'm playing, because I don't want Howard to know I'm making a mistake," laughs trombone player Edythe Cos- grove, who, along with xylo- phone player Sandy Quinton, is one of the less experienced players in the band. "But I used to play the piano,," says Quinton. The senior band member, saxophonist Don Stewart, is missing, and somebody says it's because his sax, is being repaired. Not only is he one of the very original band members, he's also an original member of Terrace Bay, says Kim Alexander. "He was around when the foundations for Terrace Bay were laid," she says. The break ends, and band files back into the music room to begin practicing again. fe The Superior X-Country Ski Club ie is currently seeking donations of used X-Country ski equipment (any size, any style).
