Twenty Corps members plan Washington trip Raymond Ennquez Drum Corps Beau. Twenty Drum Corps members planned to attend a camp in Wisconsin for a week in June, to practice marching, twirling, and playing techniques. After attending the camp, they planned to travel to Washington, D.C. to play for President Jimmy Carter. Raising money to attend camp and for their annual trip for 1977- 8, destination as yet unknown, was the mam activity for the year. Work projects included raffling a 1 977 Gremlin hatchback, candy apple sales, carwashes, and a skating party. Most of the funds came from the Drum Corps Booster Club, an active group of interested parents and friends. A season of practice and marching brought Drum Corps a disappointment at the regional contest, in February at the Sun Bowl. They received a ll-rating (excellent), the majority of the girls shed tears with the announcement; it was the first time in several years they had received below a I (superior). Drum Corps member. Shelly Sanders, was selected as an All- Regional and All-District Band member as a Percussion II player. Drum Corps is an old tradition at Ysleta, established in 1 936 with Mrs. Louise Bolton-Little director. The 1 936 Drum Corps consisted of SIX members with uniforms of white skirts and blouses, and maroon caps and capes. Selecting a beau, a tradition started in 1 97 1 , was carried out this year with the penny-a-vote poll, with Raymond Ennquez as the winner.
