Tall Flags Twirl To Victory Accompanying Marina's fine band is the award - winning colorguard. Many hours of exhausting practice resulted in superior achievements for the team throughout the year. During football season, the squad pre- pared and perfected its halftime show, every- day, 7th and 8th periods. After school and Saturday practices were not uncommon for the members either. Such rigorous practicing paid off for the colorguard when it entered half-time show competitions against other Southern California high schools. At the first competition, sponsored by Sierra Vista High School, the tall flags received an outstanding Sweepstakes award for their routine, along with the highest Showmanship score of the day, Led by Captain Joelle Carr and advisor Mindy Sanborn, Marina's colorguard per- formed at various pep rallies to promote school spirit, as well. Early in the summer, the flag team went to United Spirit Associ- ation tall flag camp. The main objective of this camp was to learn routines, then to per- form and be evaluated on them. At camp, Marina tall flags cheered for their school and won a Most Spirited School award, Subse- quently, the squad practiced for two months in preparation for the 1984 Olympics. Such workouts occurred almost everyday at either the Los Angeles Coliseum or El Segundo High School. This work was well worth it for the colorguard and the other 300 flag twirlers in- volved in the unforgettable Opening and Clos- ing Ceremonies of the XXlllrd Olympiad. Con- gratulations Marina tall flag for a year of out- standing accomplishments. ,H-fi., , -W Tire -A if L-.. - , , ,. .i,,,,, is Q, 2 K1-lift ' 1 , . 12 ' xt?- f. i Front: Captain Joelle Carr.
