Let them entertain you The weather ' s hot, the sun ' s burning, and the band is out in the middle of the parking lot doing their show. Many long and hard practices were held throughout the summer. It was all worth the sweat and tears to finally get the show completed, said freshman clarinet player, Stacey Woodside. Starting school meant practices after 2:35 and per- formances at the home football games and many competitions each week- end. Our scores grew and grew after each competition which made us feel good knowing our last perfor- mance was state, commented junior flag corps member, Ni- cole Lohman. This year the choreogra- pher for all the flag moves was Larry Medrano. He is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a background of mod- eling, dancing, and play act- ing, flag Captain, Laura Booher said ' Larry ' s show was hard, especially with such a young corps, but we worked together and pulled it off.

Going to state for seniors was awesome to end their last year, for juniors it was something to set goals for next year, for sophomores it was being able to get it right this time, and for freshmen it was scary. The freshmen weren ' t the only ones scared, according to Keller. Once we walked out on to the field you just take a deep breath and hold on for dear life, said Keller. But once you ' re on the field, you go to work and do the best you can. This year the Blue Guard placed seventh, only one and four-tenths of a point away from second place. Mr. Rick Smith, the band di- rector, was very pleased with the show and our per- formance at state. Going to State again for the third year in a row was the best way to end my senior year, com- mented senior, Duane Waterman. The band bettered their standing from a ninth place for the past two years to seventh place this year. Some of the band mem- bers were upset because they thought they would place higher, but overall we ' re very proud, said sophomore band member Denardes Byrum. by riicole Lohman A
