Gables High Note Musicians Win Top Honors At Clinic In Tampa

By LESLIE GROSS The Florida Music Educators Association, a professional society composed of persons engaged in teaching music in the public schools of the state, recognized the outstanding members of the Coral Gables High School Band at the annual Tampa Clinic held Jan. 12-15. This clinic is attended by FMEA members and music educators for the purpose of studying the latest techniques in music education demonstrated by outstanding students and "clinicians" and of exchanging ideas and methods for improving the general level of music education in Florida. Gables High had the largest number of band students selected for all State Bands-a total number of nine. All State Concert Band students ranking in state wide positions are Rochelle Drazier, first chair flute; Peggy Celb, second chair, first flute; Pam Knight, second chair, second oboe; Karen Valentine, second chair, first bassoon; Richard Ginn, second chair, second cornet; Roger Jones, first chair, first tuba. All State Reading Band members are Barbara Mathews, first chair, first flute; Judy Blume, second chair, first flute; Vicki Kapplow, first chair, first oboe. All State Concert Orchestra woodwind members auditioned months in advance. They are Marianne Ankrum, first chair, first flute; Dennis Koger, first chair, second horn. All the groups were on a televised program on Jan. 14. Judy Blume appeared with the read- GROSS ing band, performing the flute solo, (with accompaniment of the band) Concertino by Chaminade, for the band directors present. Richard Ginn and Dennis Koger were auditioned and offered scholarships to Stetson University. Five flute players from Gables all made firsts and competed against each other. Curtis Mosso, who swam on the Gables High Varsity last year, has continued participating in this sport in college. Yale University recently reported on his excellence in swimming with that college's Freshman team. Swimming is one of the 15 intercollegiate sports in which Yale students participate during the year. Mosso, who was a member of National Honor Society while at Gables, was selected as a member of the All-American freestyle relay team last year. Practice for the 1961 edition of the Cavalier baseball team opened Jan. 4, with a flock of new faces trying to win berths on the squad. Returning from last year's State Championship squad are first basemen, Dick Ahlfeld and Bob Brennan, and second sacker Bruce Fischer. Also back for another whirl are catchers Chuck Helm and Vic Dubois, and outfielders Terry Moran and Ken Mascari. Also returning will be pitching aces Pat Procacci and Jerry Dorsch.
