Flags, the whirling won- ders, began practice in the summer with Leah Heron and Beverly Risinger as captains. For the twenty five girls, twirling and tossing be- came second nature. These girls, under the instruction of Lee Banner, added a touch of skill and finesse. A week of night practices was planned in August after camp. The band also prac- ticed intensely for an hour before school every morn- ing. Crisp September air quickly turned into a nippy November chill, but the dedicated members stuck it out. Football games were highlighted by the perfor- mances of the marching band. Band Day competi- tions were also part of the activities. Mr. Mayne had serious doubts that the band would do well at University of Arizona Band Day in Tuc- son. The band really hadn’t been pulling together before then, Mr. Mayne admitted. “I never had any doubt if they could do it, I just had doubts if they would.” The band did do well, receiving the honored Nunamaker Award Design by Lynelle Jayo.

They also remembered the numerous good times that came from mixing their many outgoing and individualistic personal- ities. Finally, the curtain opened, marking the begin- ning of an outstanding per- formance. Before they knew it, the night was gone and the show over. The crowd applauded vigorously, end- ing the Dance Company and Drama Club’s year with a standing ovation. Designed by Gina Gallon- ardo. Photos by Greg Fresquez. Striving for perfection.
