till trong Pep rallies ignite spirit RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG! As the bell rang, crowds of excited Mustang fans rushed from their classes in hopes of getting the best view at the pep rally. And as students pushed into the gym, the chants of each class could be heard. Pacesetters, standing tall, did continuous contagions to show their skill. As the cheers and roars climaxed, the band struck up the fight song while the cheerleaders joined the Paceset- ters in the spirit line. A loud siren broke through the band's playing as the Wranglers, pulling the red and blue mustang, were followed by the team, walking proudly among the cheers and pom pons. Then, once the Pacesetters and cheerleaders had performed, the first sounds of ilLeft, Left, Left, Right, Left could be heard. The time had come for the Kazoo Band. Dressed in their camouflage outfits, they marched onto the floor, prepared to entertain. And after the humming of the kazoos had died away, and the spirit volcano had erupted, the Alma Mater was sung. Then the bell rang, heralding everyone back to class. And as each pep rally ended, preparations for the next one were being made. From the Wranglers' and Pacesetters' early morning sessions to the cheerleaders' after school meetings and practices, everyone Showing their Mustang spirit with grease ,paint M's on their faces, seniors leff Mecom, Fritz Aldrine, and Brian Durbin look on as the team leaves the gym at the end of the Plano pep rally. QCrawfordj 18 X Student Life - Pep Rallies did his part to make the pep rallies successful. The pep rallies contributed to the spirit initiated during football season. And, they would not have been the same without all of the students who supported the team. Junior lan johnson was an example of this support. When asked what the main reason for a pep rally was, she replied 'lto give us a chance to let the team know we're behind them whether they win or lose. And even after the first pep rally's sophomore skit by the seniors and cheerleaders, some of the sophomores were getting caught up in the spirit. One sophomore was Beth Dowell, who said, nThey tpep ralliesj were fun in spite of everything. Was this the attitude of the rest of the student body? l'l think so , said senior Lisa Gontarek llAlthough there were a few who were more interested in socializ- ing than in supporting the team, at least three-fourths of us have real spirit. And for the students with real spirit, Mustang Magic was alive and still going strong. tSeamanJ ln. Mu tang magic: ,
