A dded Precision A new approach to entertainment was added to the Lewis band for its final year. Waving flags and twirling rifles were part of the drill team routine and were enjoyed by everyone. Much effort was required on the part of the girls to enable them to carry out the precision maneuvers which added so much to the show, but hard work and precision has always been a mark of Mr. Dennis Reaser’s band. Under the qualified direction of Mr. Reaser and Drum Major Brian Young, the band completed another fine season. Before marching season, the band attended their annual camp and returned with a few sore muscles and with all the knowledge needed to carry them through the year. In late September, the band attended the festival at Chilhowie and traveled to Bristol for more competition in early October. In each case “The Pride of Salem” received a 1 rating. A tent sale was the big fund-raising project for the year, and band members pitched in with the Band Boosters club to make the project a big success. When marching was over, the band marched off the field and began preparations for their last opus. f 58
