Precision, Timing And Execution The Tall Flags work with tim- ing and precision under the leadership of Gina Nesci. They work hard to unify the Per- forming Arts, adding pride and color to them. Cheri Graham lights up the night with her fire coated baton. With such talent combined into the Performing Arts, we are fortunate to pos- sess such a gifted group. During the summer the squad incorporates their new mem- bers, showing them the ropes. Working on timing and execu- tion is one of the major obsta- cles that has to be over come. The routines are worked out at their weekly practices, smoothed and refined. Many of the dances are done to popular songs of today, such as, Should I Stay or Should I Go by the Clash. The Unit per- forms at various competitions, waving Amat ' s colors proudly across the Valley.
