Not too far! Nutmn hatter tlmi'li-m- Rzattnur diu'x ii lmtt .Imi hunk txhitv Intth J wirr'timg tugh nutv UH h r . hirinvt We glide 8-5 better than any band alive! The start of this year's marching season was at band camp in Alleghany College, in Meadville, RA. The band was there for six days and five nights. When the band arrived at camp they were thrilled with the idea of an indoor Olympic size pool, a talent show and a volleyball tournament. But the spirit and enthusiasm soon dwindled when members of the band began getting sick, leaving them in their rooms to recover. The cause of this epidemic', was never fully arrived at, but the most widely ac- cepted theory was people undereating, and not drinking enough water, and the heat. This did slow down the progression of their show, along with some rain. Despite the setbacks, the band didnt have a hard time having fun, while getting the show finished The show consist- ed 0f Mirada as the first number, a Do it to it! Suphumure DaVid Russell blows his baritunu during a pre-game show, 2 6h5tudcnt Life medley of Georgia, featuring Art Brace as a soloist, and Rnhcrt L. Lev with Charlene Ruffner, Dave Lesperance, Shawn Hall and Dan Goodman as a quartet as the second number. The percussion feature, Popeye, was third, and Come in fmm the ruin, featuring Tanya Pennington, was the closing number. At camp the last number did not get finished, but was worked out at evening rehearsals when the band returned home. The band now more-less has a new character almost synonomous with the band; Popeye. His popularity slowly grew as the song was slowly accepted. A giant sized Popeye rode on the band float for the Beat Bula Parade, and is now hanging at Kaleva Hall. Drum major Chris Rebera devel- oped a new spirit getter for the band. Its the infamous check list! Chris called out a part of the body Check her out! Drum millur Chris Reberd proudly leads the band to anvther one of their halt-time performances necessary for the correct position of attention. Then the band called out the position the part should be held at. Usually up, out, in, squeezed, but most importantlye-WITH PRIDE. That was the response given when Chris yelled out eyes. Eyesewith pride! The band wasn't able to attend any competitions this year from a lack of funds. But they did receive warm welcomes at the Conneaut Band Show and the Jefferson Band Show. They were able to raise the money for buses to the Harbor Creek Come petition by having a last minute carwash. In this competition, instead of competing against other schools, they were evaluated on their own performance. The band has really improved a great deal since they began marching corps style! Aren't they cute! luhn Rcbem and Tim Lamberg pnse pretty during their ten minute break at n hvme game

Well . . . band is fun, but it's also a lot of hard work. A good example of both of these is band camp. The fun swimming, the dances, and being with your friends. The hard part is the work; you get up at about 6:00eand work until 8:00 p.m. Another hard part of band camp is the food . . . it's usually rotten? But after all the work, we get to go to all the football games . . . free. And we get to go all over Ohio and Pennsylvania for competi- tions and band shows. That's the fun! :lj'LEMJ Wit Bande27
