The hours of practice paid off every performance. Maria Velez, a new student on Varsity said, I had to adjust to the different variety of dances, but be- ing an Emerald makes me feel special. Dances were learned during sum- mer band practice. Mrs. Kaye Coachman, the Emerald Sponsor, said, 'IThis year was the first year the Emeralds didn't have to learn dances during football season, but instead, just perfect them. Watching from the sidelines after being injured, Varsity Captain Melissa Daude said, 'XI wish I were out there dancing. Melissa did help by pointing out small differences during practice.

The Few, the Proud, the Color Guard uLine up the music's on ready, set, and 5-6-7-8 No, no, stop. lt looks like a mess. Let's try it again and this time no more memory lapses. Yes, this was Color Guard practice. The Color Guard worked long, hard, grueling hours after school learning and perfecting their routines. We've got time to do it one more time. Over and over again they were drilled until it was perfect. But it did not all start with the first day of school. lt started in luly when the Guard attended E.T.S.U. summer camp. While at camp both the varsi- ty flag and rifle lines and the junior varsity flag line received superior and outstanding ratings. john Thompson was awarded most im- proved in the intermediate advanc- ed class and Robert Bowie was awarded most improved in the beginners class. Barely rested from camp, the Color Guard joined the band in August for long, hot practices. Once school started the Color Guard performed at pep rallies, halftimes, and in parades. As well as performing they participated in the various school spirit raising events. ln order to raise money for their winterguard competitions the Color Guard held bake sales and sold M 81 M's and acrylics. The director of the Color Guard who always gave one hundred per- cent was Mr. Albert F. Ainsworth. Not only did he design and teach the routines to the Guard, he also designed and made many of the flags himself. When asked what he thought the role of the Color Guard was, he said 'lThe role is to interpret the band's music visually for the audience. When the Color Guard perform- ed they filled the audience with ex- citement. The vivid colors of the flags, especially the new orange, green, and silver ones for contest, and the precise movements of the rifles added colorful imagery to the band. Their long, hard hours of work proved that practices makes perfect. i - ...ex W , W MEMBERS of the Varsity Color Guard are tfront rowl Robert Bowie, Robert Keefe, and john Thompson. fsecond rowl loni Lutz, Mira Hebert, Diana Ferril, Karen Yates, Kianne Stalter, Kim Lien, Madison Campbell, Sylvia Hardin, lackie Moody, 170 CoIorGuard Ly t d opybylackieMoody gg V' ?.,f,,,, 7 i 4 L . .-..-.-1 Arlinda Meno, Sara Lynn Flores, and Sandi Knowles.
