Over the top. That’s right where the Varsity and Junior Varsity Majorette Squads went on March 29, 1987 — the date of the second annual New England Majorette Competition. Both teams took home first place trophies making Feehan, who sponsored this event, twice as proud. The gymnasium was transformed into a show floor complete with streamers, balloons, and “good luck” posters. Each majorette eee an important part in the preparation and success of this difficult competition. Besides spending hours of practice each night to insure a perfect. performance, members of the Varsity and JV squads put in extra time and effort decorating the gym with spirited messages and preparing “goodies” for the competing schools. Finally the long-awaited event arrived, and the gym was alive with excitement. Barbara Striesand’s “Don’t Rain On My Parade” echoed throughout as the Junior Varsity Shamrock majorettes twirled their way to the coveted first prize trophy. The other Varsity Majorettes, front row: Carolyn Treen, Michelle McCaffrie, Jennifer Salamone, Elizabeth Forsythe. Back row: Amy Goyette, Lori Bellavance, Varsity and JV Squads Fly somewhere - Over the Top competitors did their best, but could only shake their heads in amazement as the girls in the sparkling gold vests gracefully tossed their batons into the air. “Somewhere” else in the gym, the Varsity Majorettes were “Being Alive” as they performed to the beat of these tunes, also by Barbara Streisand. When it came to judging the Shamrock’s performance, there was no contest! In white bodysuits and pink skirts, the Varsity Majorettes “out-twirled” the competition to capture first place. How could the judges resist the poise of these performers? Enthusiasm shone clear through the smiles of their faces. Lori Bellavance, captain of the Varsity Majorettes, was ever so proud of her team. The Shamrock Majorettes went on to capture second place trophies at the competition Finals held at Durfee High School proving that they are one of the top squads in New England! With hard work, dedication, and spirit, the Varsity and Junior Varsity Majorettes will fly over the top again and again! Tanya Hovell, Chery! Allen, Catherine Frechette, Christine Fanning, Susan Cushman, Kimberly Lonergan. Ready for the trophy case are these two first place awards displayed by Cheryl Riley and Cheryl! Allen. D ynamite! Catherine Frechette not only looks sensational, but she is a twirler of renowned ability as well. Here, she adds a lot of spark to the Homecoming parade. Majorette Competition 9
