Banners Have Winning Year The 1980-1981 Banner Brigade, led by captains Tracy Blake and Kim Tiff and by lieutenants Susan Clemens and Sue Bigger, had another award win- ning year. A Banner ' s year starts in summer, and as third year girl Jann Adcock explained, Summer camp is the first event we participate in as a team. We did extremely well this year, and that was only the beginning! The Banners went to two camps this year, one in Santa Barbara, and one in Ir- vine. At Santa Barbara, they received first place in competition, first and third places in drill downs, and the superior trophy for having the highest score in camp. At Irvine, the Banners received another first place in competition; first, second, and third places in drill downs; the spirit trophy; and one again, the superior trophy. Once the year got started, the ban- ners performed at all the home football games, all the parades, and some pep assemblies. At four parades, the ban- ners received a perfect thirty out of thirty score, and in one of those pa- rades, received fourth place out of nearly fifty competing tall flag squads. The banners thought up all of their own routines under the supervision of advi- sor Jim Keys. Majorette MIctiele Johnson poses for the cam- era. Banner Brigade.

Award Winning Banners Travel The Banner Brigade was successful only because of much practice, both as a team and as individuals. The members of the team held practice al- most every day after school till 4:30, in addition to practicing during both fifth and seventh periods. The officers were generally responsible for thinking up the routines, but all the members con- tributed their ideas. The Banners, along with the march- ing band, participated in the Tourna- ment of Roses Parade on January 1, and travelled to San Francisco in Feb- ruary. Some of the fund raisers used towards these trips were selling can- dles in the beginning of the year, candy bars a little later, and cheese and sau- sage just before the holidays. Second semester, the Banner Bri- gade broke up into small precision, which performed a much more refined routine. Small precision also went to several competitions involving only tall flags. They also performed at some of the home basketball games. All in all, the Banners agree they have had a great year, and that it ' s one they ' ll all remember.
