One important ele- ment of our band was the flags. They prac- ticed every morning from 7:00 to 8:55 and then sometimes at night. Hard work paid off, they were invited to the Tournament of Champions. Ranked in the state, their chances in the competition looked bright. Flag Captain, Jenny Adamski, dedicated her- self to make this year's flags the best ever. There were two flag teams, each team having a pair of sisters in it. One pair was Jenny Adamski and her freshman sister Lisa, the other was Coach Kristin Dodd and her sister Dawn. Lisa stated It had brought us closer together. Thanks to their hard work, the Varsity Football games brightened up during the half-time intermission with the coordinat- ed display of school colors. Christie Marvel twirls to perfection at a half-time as Stacy Wallo follows. The two girls showed great determi- nation this year. Dana Gardner leads the way in Tall Flags at a football game.

Often heard acticing, the 1987-88 Concert Band strove for success. Uti- .ing hard work, determination, and personal pride, the nd went to the three music festivals. They performed two ncerts, including the spring concert, which was held near e end of the second semester. Besides attending the Region- Music Festival, which was held at San Diego State Univer- y, the El Dorado Concert Band joined in the Area Festival as well. The Area Festival was meant for all the schools of the district to get together and play, even the elementary schools! To be in Concert Band, it took dedication and hard work to do the absolute best. Mr. Watson encouraged the musicians to give their greatest effort. When asked to give three words that described Concert Band, Mr. Watson replied, Good musical experience! That exactly summed up El Dorado's Concert Band. CD Orchestra

Rifles shoot for the top! What takes hard work, consistency, and dedication? The El Dorado Rifle Squad, according to Mr. Watson, the band director. He also said, This year's Rifle Squad has been one of the finest squads we have had at El Dorado High School. Under the leadership of Captain Joalee Brink, they took home many awards including first place from the Tourna- ment of Champions , which made them the top rifle squad in the state. Every morning at 7:00 am, the seven rifles were set up on the field with freezing hads ready to go. They twirled for two hours straight every morning and three hours every Monday night, striving for perfection. Sometimes the com- mitment seemed too much to handle but it all paid off in the end, stated Jenny Douglass, co-captain. This year the entire band went to ldylwild for a special weekend of rehearsals at Camp Buckhom. During this time, the girls became very close. Joalee Brink felt, We became as close as sisters especially at camp. We all love each other. Junior Lily Chen was quoted as saying, Rifles is fun and challenging. l also get to spend time with my friends in band. This year's Rifle Squad had an excellent season with a lot of hard work and commitment. Hopefully next year's squad will be even better. Cb Jenny Douglass and Cassie Williams lead the Rifles Squad.
