, ., 1+ 3 . mf ' 4' J 5 ra- k This yearls award winning Baronettes fbottom leftj, advised by Mrs. Sandra Grandison fabovej, was one of Bonita Vista's most successful drill teams. The year began as one of rebuilding, as Mrs. Grandison enthusiastically trained the girls for the many parades and half-times that they would face throughout the year. A small drill team, the Baronettes had no less pride in their work than larger drill teams, and this enthusiasm enabled them to develop into the fine group that so many audiences viewed. The specialty corps were also deserving of Baron pride, Captain Cheryl Duley and the letters ltop lefti, bore Bonita Vistay' with pride through all types of weather with the pennons, lbottom centerj led by Captain Janet Akers, following closely behind raising the school colors of blue and gold. M ajorette Dawn Kohls lbottom leftl shivered through many parades, twirling her baton as she marched beside the Baronettes, Whenever the efforts of each group were combined and a climax had been reached, such as during the final moments of a halftime ftop rightl, the girls would be bursting with emotion, pride, excitement, and satisfaction. It was moments such as these that made the long hours, the aching muscles, the arguments, and the frustrations all worthwhile. 28

They marched in several parades fupper centerl - from Santa Monica and Hawthorne to Long Beach and Disneyland -led bythe talented drum major, Patrice Stevenson fupper leftj, and her mace. The band acquired several honors throughout the year, including sweepstakes at the Bonitafest parade. The band also performed in a band pageant with the theme of Hallelujah Hollywood, and later they produced a very successful Spring Concert. However, a year of success could only be achieved as a result of both individual and group effort. Therefore, members, such as Beth Evans fbottom rightl, often spent many hours alone with their instruments, practicing so that the group could blend in harmony when they gathered together to play lbottom leftj. The band showed sincere dedication throughout the year, and even as the year drew to a close and there were fewer opportunities to play, their enthusiasm did not relent as they continued working - this time for a successful future.
