i it Makine lt to the Top The beginnin of a winning tradi- tion highlightec? the junior varsity band. For the first time the band received a division one at the region marching band contest at Temple High School. As Kathy Quilhot said, 'lt felt great-really super! Maurice Bomer said, l'The clinician told us that we probably wouldn't get a one. We were really surprised when we did! The band began its practices dur- ing early August. These practices were intended to teach the many new members how to execute basic marching fundamentals. Rehearsals continued until school started when daily practices were held during first period and on Monday nights. These prepared the band for its precise halftime shows during the Thursday night junior varsity football games, featuring special numbers performed by the color guard and drill team to songs such as 'New York, New York and uFame . In preparation' for the marching contest held in mid-November, the band practiced selected pieces such as ilThe Battle Hymn of the Republic , 'Trumpet Voluntary , UBrian's Song and llFlammin' Rose , a special number performed by the drum section. These songs and the well-practiced marching of the band combined to form an ex- citing show according to half-time spectators. The contest judges ap- parently agreed with them. WAITINC for the band to begin its next song is twirler Sandra Broaddus. IEANNE GAUTIER and Sandra Broaddus are the junior varsity twirlers of this year. Band 165
