■ Practice Makes, Perfection Getting down to the beat, head majorette Trisha Kilbarger demonstrates one of the stylish routines at a pep assembly, (mw) 20 Band Mary Walston To some people the schedule was too much. The results show it was worth it. Come rain or shine, or anything else for that matter, they kept on try- ing. Night upon night and hour upon hour they strived for perfection. From shirts and T-shirts to thermals and winter jackets they polished their act and left behind the results: a band no other band could match. The work started at the end of Ju- ly. From July 30 to August 10, the band members met from 8 a m. to noon, Monday through Friday, to practice marching drills and start selecting the music for the pregame show and the first half time show. On August 12, they packed their bags and headed out to Camp Otterbein where they spent the next week mar- ching and practicing. Upon returning from band camp, the students started the Tuesday and Thursday night band rehearsals, Thursday night being the night for testings. At these the students will bring their music and give it to the testor. The member then plays the music by memory. To some people the band camp schedule and the Tuesday and Thursday night rehearsals are too much for a student, but the results show it was well worth it for the viewers and the members and directors. Then the week of the first game was approaching rapidly and yet th« freshmen weren't the only nervous people. The whole band was, along with the director and his two assistants. For the second year in a row the band was under new leadership. On ly this year was a year of beginnings, and a year of change. Mr. Robin Kessler was the new director who took charge after the resignation of the previous band director. For the first complete year Miss Lineberge and Mr. Stought were the assistam directors. Throughout the season the band attended competitions and varioui parades. One competition the band has had great success in during the past years was the Bloom Carroll o roast festival. Once more the band took the first place trophy. At the end of the marching season the band put on the show of al shows, they brought to us the revie» of shows. During this event they mar ched every entrance, dance and con cert piece they had played during the year. The outstanding job they did stood up with their astounding reputation. Way back in the roots of the school, back in the beginning, is where this reputation began: one of high quality and standards, wor thwhile viewing and proud ac complishments. All of these traits have made Logan's band the best band in the land. So through rain or shine, night after night and hour after hour of practices, from shorts and T-shirts to thermals and winter jackets the band came through and brought us that polished performance of style that no other band can match.

The TV Production class is divided into two groups: the technical crew and the broadcasters. The technical crew is responsible for total set-up, take-down, and film- ing of all productions. Broadcasters are in charge of researching their stories and reporting them on the air.
