DRUM MAJORS — BAND DIRECTOR Strong Leadership Benefits Marching Chiefs No group or organization can achieve any amount ot success without strong leadership, and this year for the Marching Chiefs is no exception. Once again Mr. Carlos Perkins, Pin- son Valleys incredible band director, has done a wonderful job. Before summer band prac- tice even began, he put in many hours of hard work selecting music and designing the 1984-85 show. He created a show that pleased and ex- cited both spectators and judges alike. The success of the band this year can also be attributed to the drum majors, Jeannie Bras- well and Dianne King. The two worked very hard to create a sense of unity and comaraderie that few bands possess. The drum majors proved their leadership ability by taking command on the field. Thanks to the combined leadership and skill of Mr. Perkins and the drum majors, the band has enjoyed a fan- tastic year. ORGANIZATIONS 171

MAJORETTES Twirling Their Way To The Top Of Their Class The Pinson Valley Marching Chiefs have always been fortunate to have an excellent majorette line, and this year is no exception. Although somewhat diminished in number, the majorettes have again become a crowd favorite at pep rallies and football games. Under the strong leadership and ex- perience of head majorette Stacey Godfrey and long-time sponsor Mrs. Joy Deming, the majorettes added a special dimension to the bands stacey Godfrey halftime show. The talent with which they performed the difficult and exciting twirls is obvious, since they received superior ratings at all marching competitions and festivals. Through all the hard work and practice, both with the band and by themselves, the majorettes have again proven their value and worth to the Pin- son Valley Marching Chiefs. They are an obvious plus to the band and will continue to add their talent to a winning effort. ORGANIZATIONS 173
