WHAT S BEHIND ALL THOSE SMILES? Behind all those smiles are the joy. Ihe laughter, the sorrow, the pain, and the experience of being a Redskin i Majorette If you glance toward the field during 1 a Redskin half-time performance or at a contest, you will see six beautiful I girls with smiles from ear-to-ear going I through their routines with ease and precision The six girls are the Redskin ma)orettes and those teeth-shining smiles come from hours and hours of strenuous work and determination Each spring tryouts are held and new maiorettes are chosen by a group of judges, and just as soon as school lets out lor the summer vacation majorette practice begins In July they travel to Jacksonville State University for clinic with other majorette groups as well as traveling to Camp Laney in August with the band and colorguard. It ' s no easy task for head majorette Susan Faust to make the routines coincide with the music, but each rou- tine and each girl has that snap, quality, precision, and ' pizazz ' that brings the crowd to their feet at ballgames The true test of their abilities comes at competition The majorettes received a superior rating from Mid- South competition. I idfield competi- tion, and Homewood Marching Clas- sic. It ' s no wonder they were smiling During the last four years the major- ettes have received nothing less than a superior rating They truly are number one and their smiles prove it. MAJORETTES.
