Becky Brown crowned band sweetheart. The band at DHS is directed by Dick Valenzuela, Mr. V. to the 96 band members who try to achieve their goals by working under the motto Go For It! The band officers for 1980-81 were senior Becky Brown, president; junior Victor Valenzuela, vice-president: sophomore Teresa Gifford, secretary- treasurer; senior Yvonne Terry Men- doza, historian; and sophomore Mike Otero, publicity manager. New marching shirts were purchased by the band members for $1 1.36 each. The white satin shirts were worn with a red cummerbund and sash and white gauntlets, and with the usual navy blue pants, white shoes, and gloves. The ui new uniforms give us a brighter look and they ' re something different for a change, said band student Gina McAskill. The uniforms were sewn by mothers of some of the band students. The marching band, which per- formed during half-time at all home football games, was made up of two bands, the symphonic and concert band. The jazz band, and the pep band, which played at all home varsity bas- ketball games, were two bands made up of members from the symphonic band. The marching band spent two hours every Tuesday and Thursday evening during football season to prepare for the half-time performances and the Parade of Champions in Las Cruces. The band showed off their new uni- forms for the first time at the Parade of Champions. The new uniforms still didn ' t keep the band from losing to Morenci, Arizona for the second year in a row by five points, 70-75. Becky Brown was chosen as the Band Sweetheart by the band mem- bers. She was crowned by vice-presi- dent Victor Valenzuela, and given the traditional kiss by trumpet player, Billy Chaires, at the last home football game. A banquet and dance was given in her honor. ■• ' ' fa JiS - ' -T--- ' i= . ' I . DHS marching band poses for their pic- tures on the football field. 2.
