The Golden Bear Marching Band had a suc- cessful but personally disappointing season. Although they made straight superior ratings at contest, they did not receive the best in class award at the Ft. Walton Beach Marching Fes- tival. Robertsdale has captured this title for two years but missed the third by two points. The Bear Band performed with excellence during football games under the field direction of Allen Pope. This year the band had another new director. Miss Suzie Kendrick, an alumni member of the Robertsdale Band. She did a great job as one could see when the band per- formed. She had the responsibility of choreo- graphing a half-time show, choosing music, and, the harde st part, keeping a hundred band students in line . With all the changes and difficulties the band program has had in the past three years, Robertsdale High School can still hold its head high and claim That ' s our band. Look at the Monkies! The auxilliary corps presents the flag at the eteran ' s Day assembly. A new addition to the band this year was the basketball pep band. This is the Robertsdale Drum Corp showing you they hate learned to count to two! Varsifv Band — 87
