Freshman Peggy Johnson, Jamie Mann, Jen- nifer Devoe, and Suzanne Claus discover just how much it really takes to become a New Haven highlight during a night practice ses- sion in the lodge. Junior Doug Swygart concentrates on his music as he plays the sousaphone during one ot the many camp practice sessions. The Members of the marching band tal e time out from paractice to munch down. coal on their faces, limburger cheese around their necks, and wearing huge cardboard signs marked with a 76. It was all in fun and all of the freshmen survived. On a typical day, the air was a little warmer for the after-breakfast rehearsal. As the air warmed up, jackets and sweatshirts were strewn across the field. Not much was left behind after rehearsal — the unlucky person who did lose something had to sing for the assembly after supper to reclaim the last article. During these marching rehearsals the con- test show that eventually won sweep- stakes at the N.I.S.B.O.V.A. Marching Contest was put together. Finally came sectional rehearsals — a chance to sit down! The drum- mers met by the teepee, the flutes practiced on a hill, the trumpets were under the porch, the combined sounds of the three groups filled the air with a collage of different songs. The Highlights were practicing on the field with a recording. They were on their feet almost constantly. After lunch there was a short sec- tional rehearsal, then the whole band met around the flagpole to practice together. During this time, salt water was passed around to soothe cracked and bleeding lips. Constant practicing was especially hard on the brass players. Finally the band was dismissed for two and one-half hours of free time. Swimming, sunning, ping-pong, bumper pool, air hockey, tennis, jumping on the mini-trampolines, and sleeping seemed to be the favorites. Soon the bell rang for supper. Meals were a familiar routine. Everyone stood and sang the Doxology, ate and then Mr. Milliman made announcements, listened to singers who hoped to recover lost articles, and paddled all who came to dinner with no shoes. Then, giving the group time to spray themselves with mosquito repellant and find their jackets, there was another marching rehearsal. This usually lasted until it was too dark to see the formations, and then the band reassembled in the lodge to learn dance steps. By this time, although spirits were high, enthusiasm was getting low, so after a short entertainment period (a moonlight dip or silent movies) the campers hurried back to eat cookies or cook pizzas in a Toast-R-Oven before lights out. The flashlight crews started their rounds and the band prepared for another day. By the end of the week squad lead- ers were hoarse and nerves were shot, but parents and friends who came to see the show were proud to see how much the band had accom- plished in one short week. Finally the band went home just beginning to prepare for the ultimate goal: SWEEP- STAKES 75. Band camp — 153

. • Highlights stretch out as the rest of the band works out music problems during a short break created by the heat at a music rehearsal. BAND U L L D O G by DAWN SNYDER At 5:00 a.m. reveille echoed through Camp Potawotamie on Blackman Lake. Moments later, sleepy band campers could be seen coming out of various cabins and heading for the community water hole, where teeth were brushed and cold or colder water was splashed in all directions. Then all were off to the practice field for morning marching rehearsal, dressed in their warmest clothes. Everyone was tired, and there were a few that had ventured out of the cabins after lights out and had calestenics ' a la Crisler. (Mrs. Crisler was the head chaper- one). With breakfast and the prospect of food, everyone came to life. Some didn ' t think that the food was so great, but it was warm, and the red- blooded, all — American male stom- ach didn ' t suffer. Usually after breakfast the group disassembled to get the cabins ready for the daily inspection, with the exception of Monday when the fresh- men were initiated. They began their high school experiences with Dippity- Do and Corn flakes in their hair, char- Using his band instrument, the trombone, for a crutch Paul Chapman gives a look of being overworked. He enjoys one of the few breaks he gets during practice for the Bulldog March- ing Band. 152 — Band ramp
