Land of tacos, en- chiladas, sopapillas and jalapeno peppers! Such thoughts crowded our minds as the Davis High School Sym- phony Orchestra waited for our flight from the Salt Lake Aiiport to Mexico City. WHEN WE first arrived, American Airlines almost shut down their airline. When one sees a mob of 102 approaching, every person laden with bags and suitcases, what can one do? But due to the skillful maneuvering of Richard Marsden, chaperones, and airline agents, we were soon tagged, loaded and ready to go. The flight to Dallas was uneventful as was the flight from Dallas to Mexico City. Once we arrived in Mexico City, a little awe and nervousness began to get a few people. AFTER ALL, we were only faced with a few minor problems: (1) we cant speak the language, (2) we dont understand the language, and (3) we cant drink the water. Also there was some questions on how to avoid Montezumas Revenge, along with any other germs that float in the air. Fortunately for us, our traveling physician had the foresight to offer everyone a large supply of antibiotics, which we all took faithfully twice a day. Our first day was spent largely in just getting acquainted with the city. We all suffered a bit from culture shock. We had to quickly grow accustomed to the food, the customs and the lack of people. The Englis- h-speaking Mexicans, however, were very helpful and patient. They tried their hardest to understand us and aid us in every way. MEXICO City held many enjoyable experiences. Probably the highlight was when the orchestra did a special concert for some 200 girls from a federally-funde- d orphanage. We all felt the urge to give them our very best and their as distant as we think. Addresses were exchanged, promises to write were made, and im- portant friendships were formed. We were all touched by their unconditional love for us and we were sorry to see them go. TWO OF our most educational experiences were the Ballet Folklorico and our performance on national television. The ballet was a spectacular treat. We were shown the excitement and style of Mexo. The dancing and costumes were flashy and proud. We saw the pride of Mexico, a musical history of the country. It was fun to hear their music and see how it is played, so differently from how we play. All of us came away with a new concept of Mexico, a brighter, more positive attitude towards the people themselves. Our television show was an experience Im sure well never forget. We were guests on the program Hoy Mismo, the Mexican equivalent to our Today Show. It was fun to actually be on a television stage, performing for the Mexican public. We were later told that an estimated 60 million people saw us, as the show was seen in Mexico, Central and South America, Canada and parts of the United Ststcs EVEN THOUGH we couldn't understand the language, we soon understood what to do when Silencia was whispered throughout the room. The best part of the whole adventure was when people began calling in to comment on how well we played. One lady expressed her amazement at how good we were for being so young. She said her daughter played an instrument and how she wished her daughter could receive the same instruction and teaching we had. Ive never really appreciated how lucky our orchestra is to have such a superb director as Richard Marsden until I heard that. We are very fortunate to have such a super music program in this area. The best part of the whole trip was the very reason we had come to Mexico: to perform. Each concert was special and unique in its own way. We played for mayors, state representatives, the American consulate, as well as for the middle and lower classes, the poorest of the poor. But their response was the same. Ive decided that the Mexican people are a very forgiving people, considering the mistakes we response was overwhelming. They especially enjoyed the Sumusic from Rocky, Wars. "Star and perman, After the concert we had the chance to mingle with them, give them small gifts (crayons, rulers, pencils and packets of make-upbut most of all we enjoyed trying to talk with them and getting to know made. them. They were eager to EVERY performance reunderstand us and we wanted inceived a standing ovation.

Our performance areas were very diverse, ranging from the finest concert hall in Mexico City to a federally-fundebasketball court outopen-ai- r side Acapulco. One performance particularly stands out in my mind. We were doing a night performance in Chilpancingo. In order to get a good crowd, one of our chaperones went into an open plaza and proceded to hand out programs to the people, inviting them to come and hear us. One of our numbers featured Valori Christenson on the piano. When it came time to start, we did not have a piano. We quickly revised our program, putting the piano concert after the intermission, and then sent some men out looking for a piano. AT INTERMISSION, the piano had not arrived and things were getting tense. Then suddenly, our eyes be- held several men, straining beneath the weight of a baby grand piano, coming down the center aisle. They had found the piano in the basement of the governors mansion under layers of dust and furniture. But it played, even if the inintonation was somewhat dubious and so our program con- tinued. These experiences seemed to make the trip more enjoyable and fun. With performances every night we were kept busy, yet we still had time for sightseeing. We were able to visit the pyramids, Chapul-tepe- c Castle, even take a side-tri- p to Taxco. We were able to see the real Mexico and partake of what it had to give us. IN RETURN we were able to share our talents of music. This seemed to bind our group together as a single unit. The students and chaperones were just a super bunch. Not many people appreciate the hours spent by the chaperones and leaders in preparing this trip and making it fun for all 1 in- volved. The students themselves showed a great amount of maturity. There was one dedicated group of guys who, on every performance, would unpack the instruments, such as drums, a gong, basses and los. It was estimated that we had almost one ton of these large instruments packed in wooden boxes. But these guys had worked packing and unpacking into a science. They soon were able to do it all in about 45 minutes. My hat is off to these boys. Kaysville; Mr- - and Mrs. Samuel Raymond, Fruit Heights and Mr. and Mrs. Lamb of Morgan. cel- OUR TRIP was topped off with two wonderful days in Acapulco. Despite two per- formances, everybody seemed to find time to catch some sun, much to the envy of our school mates. The orchestra trip was a great success. Personally, as a student, I feel that we all benefited from this experience. We were able to exchange a little bit of our culture with another difserent culture. To quote from words of our director Richard Marsden, This is probably the first and only chance these people will have to hear live, classical music. Lets make it a good performance. Go out and play like you mean it, with all your heart. THIS WAS the real reason behind our trip. Music is a universal language. When one speaks it, cultural and social differences seem to fade and people begin to speak soul to soul. The trip surpassed all our expectations. We didnt see everything in Mexico, but whatever we missed was made up for in so many other ways. Mexico isnt that far away, and we helped in bringing it even closer. De-Ve- rl Kaysville - Mrs. Bonnie Pugh and Mrs. Janina Halton of Salmon, Ida. were visitors of Mr. and Mrs. J. Cleon Christensen in Fruit Heights over the weekend.

He refers to himself as The Coach, others have referred to him as The Road Father. SINCE January, 1980, big bands are in greater demand than theyve been in over 30 years.
