 Words cannot describe how I felt when we brought home the three contest trophies, said drum majorette Christy Weisen- bach of the senior bands perfor- mances at two separate march- ing contests, one in Lincoln, Ar- kansas, and the other in Locust Grove, Oklahoma. The band took a second division marching trophy and Best Horn Line at Lincoln and a second division marching trophy at Locust Grove. Winning these trophies was no accident. The band began work- ing on its marching program back on August 5th. Tirelessly trudging up and down the prac- tice field, working it out part- by-part, they finally completed the show after the fifth ball- game. Since over half of the games this season were away, a lot of time was spent riding buses. To help offset the seemingly endless hours of boredom, members re- laxed to music via headphones, stuffed themselves full of candy, gum, and Coke, or just talked. When the Bearcats made it to the state playoffs, the band faithful- ly followed. However, when the state game ended, so did march- ing season, leaving the band with five days to put together a Christmas concert. It was really tough considering that I only had five days to learn how to play a new horn, said Eric Gart- man. Eric switched from an alto sax to a baritone sax for the first time during concert season. Steve Bastion said, The concert went really well considering we had such a short time to get it together. The trombone players of the senior band perform their four halftime numbers. 78 You can't be serious Front row: Gabby Fry, Sherry Scantling, Melissa Littlefield, Katy Fitzgerald.

Let’s focus on The REAL bottom line No, Stacey, you have to bend your leg more to the right, I'm trying, Lisa, but my leg doesn't want to bend that way! new cheers and new jumps. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating when my muscles refuse to cooperate with my mind. I have to admit, though, I have no regrets about join- ing the squad. Danny Spain shares some en- thusiastic thoughts with Tammy Lunsford while eating his sandwich. Come on you guys. I've got to be home at five o'clock! Christi Walpole complained. 1 guess we can go home now, sighed Lisa Robertson, captain of the Junior High Cheerleaders. Mrs. Pace said we could leave after an hour. Oh, don't forget to wear your sweaters tomorrow. Practice is not only for athletes. Cheerlead- ing involves more than just showing up for the game. Moriah Hayes relayed what cheerleading involves, We started practic- ing before school started. We had to learn You can't be serious Amy Evans commented, Junior High is so much different than seventh grade. Every- one seems to get more involved. What motivates cheerleaders to cheer at all those cold football games and all those hot basketball games? Laura Lippard answered for the whole squad, Even though we don't play, we still want a win for them as much as the players want it. If they lose, we fell down. But when they win, we feel like we have achieved something, too.
