r , rm. agl A. I AND WHAT'S MORE. . . . I enjoy playing in the jazz band mostly because I love jazz music! Jazz music fascinates me! It really moves and has a steady beat. Sometimes I can just lay on my bed at home and listen to jazz on the radio for hours, It relaxes me yet it peps me up or puts me in a good mood. I love playing music, and to be able to play some of the songs my favorite artists sing really makes me think I'm closer to them and what they do. It takes a lot of coordination I give up a lot of my spare time to the band, but to me the sacrifice is worth it. Rgmci Asmab COUUW Dmsu 'xci UbfaW ma St. 44th Ringing; am 44094

The first song was really great, the audience is really en- thused. All the eyes are on them. The second, and third were just as great. Everyone is roaring. Now their finale. It's over. The audience is on their feet clapping and jumping up and down. Encore! Encore! Weren't they great!! The band is relieved-but not too surprised After their performance you see them patting each other's backs. What a great team. They please their audi- ences wherever they go!

Work! best describes the life of an auxilary unit membere Football season is an especially busy time for the drill and rifle line. Two-hour field rehersals with the band were supplemented by endless group prac- tices. We had to work extra hard, but it was worth it, states drill team member Amy Karhu. Auxilary units are a familiar sight at basketball games, too, displaying team, majorettes, the flag and entertaining the fans, During band camp at Allegheny College the drill team, majorettes, and rifle captain Deena Ventura par- ticipated in a talent show. Our majorettes captured a first-place tm- phy in the camp's squad competition. Drill team members Shelly Ondrus, Darrelle Hayman, Amy Karhu, and Kim Keener attended the Fred J. Miller Clinic in June. The fruits of their efforts were three trophies and sixteen ribbons. Captain Shelly Ondrus was named Most Outstanding Flag. On November 21 the drill team earned two firsts at a USTA competi- tion at Ball Gym. Amy Karhu won the 5010 competition and also was awarded a first in duet flag competi- tion with Suzy Davis. Of course, a parade just wouldn't be complete without rifles spinning, batons twirling, and flags flashing purple and gold.
