If this exposure was on the same negative strip as others that I've ID'ed as at the district festival at William Jewell, it's probably from there as well. This shot did not appear in the '71 Cambia. A woodwind quintet composed of (L to R): Marian Davis ('72, flute, my sister), Larry Page ('72, clarinet), Marvin Foltz ('72, horn), Mary Ann Ryczek ('72, bassoon), and Juanita Hornaday ('71, oboe). District music contest was held at Northwest Missouri State in Maryville until 1974 when the music contest moved to William Jewell. State Contest was held at MU in Columbia. All district music contest pictures identified as taking place at Jewell up to 1974 are incorrect. Our competition in 1972 was at William Jewell. Our clarinet group in the chapel was one of the most beautiful acoustic settings we'd ever played in. At the district music festival at William Jewell. (This shot did not appear in the '71 Cambia.) Left to right are unknown, Lou Hawkins ('72), Jan Swick ('72 - giving the "thumbs-up"), Kevin Revenaugh ('73 - holding index finger aloft). No idea who the 2 young ladies on the far right are. Tall blond with her back to the camera is Terri Kennard. Most likely at the district music festival at William Jewell. (Not in the '71 Cambia) Not sure who's on the left (Diane Meinhardt '73?) but that's Kay Putnam ('72) on the right. A shot very similar to this appeared on page 230 of the 1971 Cambia with the caption "Mr. Jim Chandler and Marian Davis check the schedule at the district music festival." Mr. Chandler was the instrumental music teacher, of course (I believe he retired in the mid-70s) and Marian is my older sister, was a 1972 OPHS graduate and a flutist in the band, pep band, and orchestra. If this exposure was on the same negative strip as others that I've ID'ed as at the district festival at William Jewell, it's probably from there as well. This shot did not appear in the '71 Cambia. The cellist is Pam Rhed ('71) and her accompanist is Sharon Mark ('71). Sharon also played bass in the orchestra. This is actually at Northwest Missouri State University, in room 200 of the Olive DeLuce fine arts building. The other pictures corresponding with this one are also of this room, and the lobby of DeLuce Fine Arts. I am currently a Vocal Music Education major at NWMSU and use these facilities daily. In fact, we still have the same desks and piano as seen in this picture! Most likely at the district music festival at William Jewell. I believe that's Mindy Milstead ('71) on the left, and Earlene Koons ('71) on the right, getting in some last-minute practice on their violin duet. This exact shot appeared on pages 230-231 of the 1971 Cambia, with the caption "Don Davis, along with Jan Swick and Robyn Hart, get set for music competition." (Jan was the pianist, Robyn the page-turner.) I believe this was at the district music festival, held at William Jewell college. It looks like I'm giving Jan the tempo to start out "Blue Bells of Scotland", which is what I played that year. Wow, Don - I remember this performance - I was blown away!
