Well, these past two years, with Captain Debbie Louis, things have changed. The girls have worked hard. We put some dance in our routine to add a little more pep to the act, said Louis. Flags has, for the first time, gotten a 1 with the Thunderettes in Lincoln for auxiliaries. I was so proud of the flags. We got a 1, our first 1 and being my last year, it made me feel even better, said Kristin Harrison. The Flags had 1's all through the competitive season. They added color to the band when we weren't moving, said Scott Murphey. Many of the band members were proud of Flags because they got their act together and looked good. The Flags did routines for the pep rallies, half-time football and basketball, and anything else to make them more noticeable to the school. Co-captains Shannon Menke and Mandy Morgan said, Well, we hope they do just as good as this year was if not better. Flags have really gotten their act together and proved to the school they were as good.

This years Thunderettes earned a 1 in Lincoln along with the Flags for auxilaries in the band competition. Tamie McLawhorn said, lt's been a tough sea- son but we have come out on topl The Thunderettes do a lot for this school during such things as spirit week. During spirit week all of the Thunderettes must dress up for the day. This is to inspire us to victory, said Rebecca Pearson. When the year started out many of the stu- dents had their doubts about how the T-ettes were going to be compared to last year. The squad got together and made this one of the best yet. Now, I am soooo impressed with them. They have really gotten their act togeth- er, said Amy Trent. The Thunderettes put a lot of work in their routines, they deserve a lot of credit. .. -is ff QS- ' J X . st Ffsif.. X ' 4-
