9 - Year of flange for Tartan Band t'The hiring of Mr. John Briscoe, as director. was the start of a year change for the Tartan Marching Band. The first major change was in e marching and music styles. This year's music represented a larger iriety of styles and tunes. This was welcomed greatly by students and mectators alike. The change in marching, however. turned out to be asuccessful so, in October, the band returned to the traditional way of . arching. The band started their season this year by taking a first place at the -zusa Golden Days Parade. Before the season was over the band had .arched in the Chino Review, the Santa Monica tlj and West Arcadia Jmpetitions, the All Western in Long Beach, Glendora's Homecoming arade and the West Covina and Glendora Christmas Parades. They so performed at the Colton and Los Altos Halftime Tournaments, not 1 mention four halftime shows. This was the first time in many years The drummers spent the year experimenting with new cadences and modifications on the traditional ones. They competed in the West Arca- dia and West Covina Drum Field competitions and with the help of Don Clarke, a drum arranger from Long Beach, they took first place at the Santa Monica Parade. We've had a good year, without any major problems, commented section leader Bob Curtis, senior. Another change this year was drum major Brad Schneider 121. This was the first time in three years a junior has held such an honored position. Brad led the band in all parades and halftime shows this year. He took third place at Azusa and West Arcadia and first place at Santa Monica and West Covina. This has been a good year with a lot of mutual growth between the band and myselff, exclaimed Mr. Briscoe. There are a lot of good peo- ple in Glendora that I have enjoyed working with and I am glad I was able to come into a school with such a high emphasis on music and good lat the band performed a different show at each halftime. standards. On January 1, the band marched in the 88th Tournament of Roses Parade. This was the first time since 1972 the group appeared in the kasadena parade.

454 Banners Carry Tartan Trademark MG0 Reef? Majorettes Add Pep to Hawime Shows Head banner carrier Cathy McDougall exclaimed, This is the best year in banners I,ve ever had! We had a great time, and I think most of the banners will agree. It seems that the banners enjoyed their job immensely. Out in front of the band in all parades, half time shows, and pep assemblies, the Glen- dora High School banner girls displayed great school spirit, as well as the UGLENDORAH trademark and the famous Tartan yell, Go Redf, The banners carry heavy, metal signs, specially equipped with operational lights in order to make the letters lumines- cent. To sum up the unceasing spirit of the girls, Andy Poll- man, banner, said, Being a banner was a challenging, but terrific experience. We had some rough times, but if I wasnlt a senior this year, l'd go through it all over again. I loved it!', Majorettes Sandy Craft and Janet Tolosa, head, added extra pep to half time shows as well as practices. Since the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association rules provide for only three or more majorettes in competition, the two GHS majorettes could not participate. Still, the oppor- tunity of being able to take part in practices and half time shows proved both Sandy and Janet to be very competitive and responsible. Aside from the lengthy demanding after school practices, parades and band competitions which Sandy and Janet both attended, they still found time for social activities and school work. In Sandyls words, Sometimes it was pretty hard, but in the end, everything was worth it.', 1. The Banners introduce the band to residents of Santa Monica during a competition. 2.
