Rifle, Flag Girls tie for best squad Wherever the DHS marching band performed, one could be sure to see the rifle and flag girls. For the first half-time performance of the band, the flag girls wore the new uniforms they ordered over the sum- mer, and twirled new flags. The uni- forms were made of navy blue and red satin with red sequins. The girls liked the uniforms but found that most the flag girls from other bands had gone to a different style of uniform. The rifle uniforms were red and white satm, but were not used until the fourth half-time performance because of a delay in shipping. There were two rifle girls and eleven flag girls. Linda BaUinas was the rifle captain and Cari Harris was the flag captain. It was great and a lot of fun, said Patti Benzie of her first year as a flag girl. Any girl who had been in band for at least a year and who wanted to be a rifle girl had to attend a clmic held by the current rifle and flag girls. There they learned the various routines such as twirls, figure eights, and the jazz march. Then they tried out as band di rector Dick Valenzuela watched. Each of the rifle and flag girls received a trophy from Valenzuela for belonging to the best squad in the DHS band. They tied with the French Horn squad because of all their hard work and extra practices. t 1. The rifle and flag girls are: Lotta Ericsson. Debbie Padilla. Cari Harris. Lynanne Hobbie. Becky Russell.
