Modular scheduling has meant many changes for Mitchell's band. In addition to regular rehearsals, members are scheduled into sections for more de- tailed instruction. Each player is also able to arrange for a weekly private lesson on his unstructured time. This has greatly improved the musical quality of the band. According to Director Norm Smith, the Marauder Band had a very full schedule of appearance. lt pre- sented a half-time show at all home football games, played at all home basketball games and at several hockey and basketball games, and provided music for all pep assemblies. In the concert field the band presented several formal concerts and also entered the State Music Contest. Stage Band appeared at the Broad moor Interna- tional Center and also played for the P.T.A. Founder's Day Banquet. Not all of the band's activities were confined to home. The band traveled to out-of-town football and basketball games to Colorado University for Band Day and to Pueblo Centennial for an exchange assembly. Seniors Ralph Cromer and Ron Davids were se- lected as members of the Colorado All-State Band. PICCOLO: Ginger Sickbert, Kathy Donegon.

Because ofthe high interest shown by the Mitchell girls in becoming majorettes, lVlr. Norman Smith de- cided this year to add a B-squad of six girls. The new girls do not participate in as many activities as the per- forming girls, but Nlr. Smith explains the B-squad as more of a training grounds for future A-squad ma- jorettes. What is a band without pretty girls marching out ahead of it? The majorettes and squad performed along with the school marching band in half-time shows at most football games and some basketball games. Through the year they also participated in Band Day at Boulder and marched in the Palmer Homecom- ing Parade this fall. There were six A-squad maiorettes along with the new B-squad of six girls. Of course, being a majorette is not all play and no work. The auditions were held in the spring leaving the entire summer for the girls to practice, which they did quite regularly. B-Squad lVlajorettes CATHY HANSON has been representing Mitchell for the past two years as head majorette. GU!!! :Qu l 4 f 3 LEADING THE BAND came naturally for Ralph Crorner who was chosen by Nlr. Smith to act as drum major.
