v anyon Springs the judges are ready ' and the band p ' ' ' ' ' ' ' to compete A Ithough it was the band ' s first year of competition, Mr. Ken Flores, band director, stated, our marcbing band competed very well against other groups. The musicians and flag corps had been together for four weeks of school when the band first com- peted. Members had no uniforms, only instruments, flags and hopes of winning. They had practiced every day after school except Fri- day; eight musicians and all the members of the tall flag line had practiced intensively for two weeks during the summer. At that first competition, held at Cal Poly in Pomona Nov. i, the band placed third of nine bands in its division. The Cougar band competed four times in all, ending the season with a second, a third and a fifth. The band not only took part in competitions, it also played at foot- ball games. The group performed at three home games during half- time, including the Homecoming game, Nov. 6. The band ' s first performance was Oct. 2, at the first home football game. During winter a small pep band played at some home basketball games. According to Karman Johnson, the flag captain. Our color guard got off to a wonderful start for its first year of competitive existence. Most other schools would not even attempt to compete in their first year. I ' m very proud of our march- ing band, Flores said. They ' ve worked very hard and deserve a lot of credit. They are a very special group of people. SCHULTZ STEP: The Cougar marching band per forms one of the most important parts of ,ts opening drill. The four- ount mjr h step originated with drum I orps.

s tarting traditions ASB ' s major concern, as the first y ' Canyon Springs begins A yr ■ ' ■ oi Canyon Springs ' new traditions were the work of the Associated Student Board, the school ' s student government orga- nization. The ASB basically planned most of the activities that took place in school and for the school. said President Michelle Missil- dine. For a new school, Mr. Doug Stockham, ASB adviser, said, ASB officers were hard-work- ing. The ASB planned activities, such as Homecoming, which start- ed new Canyon Springs traditions. In order to make it work, we spent a lot of time figuring how we were going to do it, Jeff diva, vice president, said. We called many of our local businesses. Part of organizing Spirit Week FIRST MEETING, .nd .dv.er Doug S.ockha,, cxpl. the ASB progr. ■s8 ASB events was hosting the schoo . first Homecoming Barbeque, Nov. 6. It didn ' t take very long to or- ganize the Homecoming Barbe- que, Myrh Lee Saria said, but it was a challenge, since it was the first time, and the outcome was unknown. The ASB also created the Legs Contest. Contestants were udged from behind a screen show- mg only their legs. The Legs Contest was quite successful, Missildine said. I think our ASB has done great for it being our first year, she added. We accomplished or- ganizing our first Homecoming, and it turned out pretty good. It was a new experience for everyone m ASB, but we ' ve all been helping each other out.
