Band Plays Better Than Ever The Bonita Vista Band of 1981-82 Ti proved the best the school has ever had, and they proved that by winning more awards than any band in school history. Their ac- complishments included being division win- ners at the Bonitafest Parade, sweepstake winners at the Rancho Cucamonga Band Review, and participating in the Mother Goose Parade and All-Western Band Re- view. Drum major Forrest Miller benefit- ted from the years dedicated to perfecting his skills. He earned first place awards at the Cucamonga Band Review and Chula Vista Band Review. His first place honor at the All-Western Band Review proved that he was truly the best drum major in the western part of the United States. Major- ette Suzanne Braden brought more recog- nition to the band through her various ac- complishments, including third place at the Rancho Cucamonga competition. It was in- deed the best year a BV band has ever had! tClockwise from leftj Vicnor Reyante and Richard Yenson at practice. Drum Major Forrest Miller leads the band.

N W Specialty Corp Capture Numerous Award The reformation among the groups which accompany the band proved a suc- cess. Although the Letterettes and Flag Corp remained, the Rifle Corp and BAR- ON letters replaced the Baronette squad. The Letterettes, led by Veronica Verdugo, continued their reputation of excellence and won many awards. Their achievements included first place and sweepstakes won in accordance with the band at the Chula Vis- ta Band Review. They also took an individ- ual third place. The long hours of hard work and practice also benefitted the Flag Corp. Led by Hazel Samodal, they earned first place awards at the Rancho Cucamonga Competition and Chula Vista Band Review. The inexperienced Rifle Corp designed an impressive routine and took second place at the Rancho Cucamonga Competition, their first one. Although the BARON letters did not compete, they excelled in other types of per- formances and added a finishing touch to the squad. Overall the year was very successful, per- haps the best Bonita Vista has ever had. tClockwise from bottom leftj Letterettes, back row Jeanne Chantengco, Michelle Federe, Maria Ver- dugo, and Jennifer Bongolan.
