Cheering, supporting, and boosting the spirit of athletic functions were just a few of the activities enjoyed by Blue Brigade members. Blue Brigade, sponsored by Ms. Peggy Marcom, consisted of Drill Team, which was made up of juniors and seniors, and a sophomore and junior- senior pep squad. Smiling, snapping, kicking and dancing characterized the performances of the Drill Team and of- ficers on field as well as off. Officers and Brigadettes were chosen in the spring of the previous year. Summer practice was held in preparation for camp, which was at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Summer practice prepared Briga- dettes for the hard work at camp. For most Brigadettes, competition on the sec- ond night of camp was the first time they had ever performed for an audience. Drill Team received two excellent ribbons, and the officers received a superior. A volun- teer group of Brigadettes performed the next night and received an excellent award and the officers a superior. Out of several hundred girls, about 20 were chosen as superstars at camp. Three of- ficers, Ann Clayton, Lisa Morris, and Debi jones, were chosen for this honor. The of- ficers were elected by the other schools represented as the Officer Line of the Week, which was another great honor for the Blue Brigade, along with a superior rating in final competition. During the fall, Brigadettes, came early each morn- ing and for two hours prepared and per- fected the routine that would be per- formed that week. After-school practice was also held. Brigadettes performed dur- ing halftime at football games and served as a cheering squad. Blue Brigade and junior-Senior squad supported the Lions in the stands. Blue Brigade collected for various civic organizations during the fall, and marched in the Rose and Christmas parades. Activities continued throughout the year with basketball games and Drill team and officers tryouts. They also participated in a parade honor- ing Earl Campbell. Blue Brigade . V7
