Moving Up A Class I think Mr. Burdeaux is a very good band director because ... he is always trying to make us the best we can be. Tonia Goddard, sophomore. t was a first ... It was the first time in Arlington ' s history that the Golden Pride Marching Band took first place in class B and thus moved up to class A. This jump took place at the Los Altos field show which should have taken place on Wednesday, November 4, but actually took place Saturday, November 7, because Wednesday ' s performance was rained out. The band went all the way to their competition Wednesday and they were told the field show tournament was postponed to the following Saturday. The postponement obviously didn ' t hinder their performance. In another competition, after taking first in class C, the Golden Pride also moved to class B. At this competition at Sierra Vista, one of the buses broke down and the people on this bus had to get onto the Drill Team bus and motorhome. The band was able to take negative situations and create positive results. Band members had many things that they liked about this year despite the fact they had to use their free time for rehearsals and competitions. Jeremy Runyan, sophomore, explained, I didn ' t like all of the night rehearsals, but they did help us to place in the field show tournaments. The Golden Pride Marching Band had a fantastic season in spite of their challenges. They received nineteen awards for their marching and music capa- bilities. They came in first three times, second once, and third once. The band ' s marching sea- son seemed to prove two prov- erbs, It ' s always darkest be- fore the dawn, and every cloud had a silver lining. They made negatives . . . positives. by Robert Murray cero waits to perform in the football half time show at Ramona. Eric Lucero also plays for the RCC Tigers Marching Band.
