Color Guard ii gg jji. WWg ' no T ' }| ' ' ' - Gayle Hawkins Christy Daniels Dedication and Skill: the Perfect Combination The Color Guard has always prided itself on turning out strong, sharp routines. They always seem to be prac- ticing. Over the summer, they often stayed after the other band members had left to get in a few more hours of hard work. This dedication to the per- formances is quite obvious when you watch them. Although the Color Guard sponsor. Mrs. Micki Elkins, left school in mid- October on maternity leave, the Color Guard carried on in its best tradition. The Color Guard has again shown that they are an invaluable asset to the band. S.

Cindy Flanagan They Make It Look Easy The Chieftainettes make their job look easy, right? They look like they have been up in front of a crowd performing all of their lives. It ' s hard to believe that these girls have only been prac- ticing since they were chosen last spring. After having the month of June off, the newly selected Chief- tainettes were ready to get down to business under the watchful eyes of Head — Holly Hoagland and Co-head — Cindy Flanagan. They spent a week at camp, sharpening their skills and prepar- ing for the long weeks and months of practice ahead. All the long hours of hard prac- tice have paid off. The Chief- tainettes turned in exceptional performances at all pep rallies, football games and band competi- tions. They even went so far as to make a perfect 100 at the Vestavia Marching Festival. They also show their talent and skill at all home basketball games. Ms. Cathy Spencer has done an excellent job as first-year sponsor of the Chieftainettes. They have again held up the traditional ex- cellence of the squad by turning out great performances. M. King P. Bresnahan E. Decker T. Evans P. Harris V J. May R. McGettigan a di R. Pruet A. Rooks M.

Handbell Choir Making Beautiful Music for All to Hear Pinson Valley ' s music department is outstanding as in past years. This year in addition to our fine concert choir, Mr. Larry Worley has added a Handbell Choir. Mr. Worley, who has headed Pinson Valley High ' s choral depart- ment for many years, has done an ex- cellent job in teaching and preparing the Concert Choir and the Handbell Choir for their performances. The Concert Choir may seem to some as a way to have a free period but it is quite evident that these students do more than talk and study duri ' i meets. When Mr. Worley began asking students if they were interested in be- ing in a handbell choir some students thought that it was a joke. Obviously the tables turned when the students and faculty first heard the Handbell Choirs melodious sounds and wondered exactly how such a few students achieved such an effect. Con- gratulations, Mr. Worley and members of both the Concert Choir and Hand- bell Choir for a job well done. They have once again proven their talent to all who hear them. 176 ORGANIZATIONS
