Patience Pay-Gif lts taken a long two years to build a drill team with as much talent and courage as the l98O-81 guard. But the patience and hoping finally paid off. The talent involves being able to do the many different things at once, count, equipment movement, body movement, and moving with every- one else to the beat of the music. The courage is doing some of the TOGETTIERNESS. To be a good squad ev- eryone must work together as a team. Each practice builds a special unity it takes for each new show. MIND AND MOVEMENT To Understand when to do your moves is as important as knowing how to do them. Barbi Maynard lis- tens to instructions on when to do her next move.

Kathy Wilson, left Reuter and Lynn Wilson take advantage of this time. 5 8fDri11 Team many dangerous moves required to make an exciting show. There isn't one drill team member who at one time or another hasn't gotten a bruise or cut from getting hit by a flag or rifle. This years guard has acquired quite a name at various drill team contest by coming home with a plac- ing in the top four at all the shows they attended. Blue Rivers drill team is fast becoming a feared name at guard shows. The future looks good for the girls and guys who make up the guard as they are only losing one senior. All that experience will be like extra ic- ing on the cake when next years indoor shows come around.
