► CONCENTRATING, Ron Ause piays a trumpet during a rally. Rallies v;ere just one of the events the band played at, besides at competitions and field shows. Band and Color Guard: We give experience here! Tomorrow is the La Habra Field Sliow Tournament, in another twenty-four hours we will be boarding the buses nervous, and hopefully on time. The buses are packed with instruments as large as tubas and as small as flutes. In addi- tion, dressed and half dressed band members are desperately trying to get belts and hats or, straight with feathers in the right direction. Mr. Maclntyre strives to get a word in over all the noise from trumpets, flutes, and xylophones which are being tuned. In just another hour it ' s our turn, two weeks of practice for just two minutes of showtime. Sometimes you blackout, you can ' t think straight because you ' re so nervous, but it pays off when you win. - Manuel Ramos, Drum Major. We ' re watching, listening, and waiting anx- iously for our turn, hoping that our music, marching and showmanship are at its best. With twenty Tall Flags and six Rifles, they should give us that one-fourth of our score. Before, during and especially after compe- tition you feel lik e you accomplished some- thing worth while. - Shakila Singeetham, Tall Flags. Boy, they sound good, but I ' m not worried we ' ve been practicing two periods a day and after school in sectionals. The experience, learning, and fun are a large part of winning also, not only the trophy. But having only ten experienced members makes it hard. It ' s hard to have the experience that other bands have because of hardly any upperclass- men. - Tracy Jaminson, Bells. Here we are. Oh! I hope I don ' t sneeze or maybe get out of step. I ' m just worried about the outcome. ... so we didn ' t win first place, you can ' t win them all. We tried our best. The experience is the Reward. - Jennifer DiSimone, Band President. DRUMROLL PLEASE A PRECISE MOVEMENTS, Suzanne DiFiore oerforms at a home game.
