Marchin f Players The Brandywine Band, under the direction of Mr. Diemer, has grown increasingly melodious as the year has progressed. The first section to get a real workout was the Marching Band. At all of our games, in all kinds of weather, the strains of Notre Dame Victory March could be heard coming from the white- plumed section of the bleachers. The itinerary for the Concert Band includes playing for the Delaware School Educator's Associa- tion in March. The annual Spring Concert will in- clude such highlights as: themes from Schehera- zade, Offenbach, and a contemporary compo- sition of Heather Hills with Carolyn Schweitzer as pianist. Three members of Brandywine's Band were MRIWESLEY DIEMER chosen as members of the Delaware All-State Band. They were: Gwen Narbeth, Ronny Vaughn, and Steve Kerstetter, who performed with the Delaware All-State Band at the National Music Educatcgfs Con- vention in Atlantic City.

Melody and Harmony Abound The sixty-member Brandywine Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Vail Bruck, is supplemented by a sixteen member girls' choir and a boys' septet, and, in addition, by a girls' quartet directed by Mr. Dave Curtis. The main purpose of the chorus is to give in- terested students a musical activity which substi- tutes for a music course during their high school years. Two major programs, a Christmas Concert and a Spring Concert, have been given by the chorus, besides appearances in an assembly and at a P.T.A. meeting, BOYS' SEPTET-J. Ringwald, B. Burich, R.

A group ot good-looking girls provide added interest to the half-time activities ot the football games by marching with the band. They certainly must not be superstitious as there are thirteen ot them! Mr. Diemer is the lucky sponsor ot these girls. This year they began a Maiorette Club, the purpose ot which is to instruct girls who aspire to be maiorettes next year. Besides this activity, they sponsor a dance every year. ABOVE-Football Cheerleaders: R. Whempnen, B. McLaren, P. Bellezza, M. Miner, Diana Dukes, S. Landrum, Donna Dukes, K. Herbert, R. Humme, P. Evers. New Basketball Cheerleaders, BELOW-D. Stout, B. Marshall, V. Twaddell, K. Luedeke. Kathie Luedeke, head maiorette Brandyvvine's tremendous school spirit can be traced to her ten en- thusiastic cheerleaders who have led the cheering section at all games and pep rallies. Working diligently during after-school hours under the sponsorship of Miss Eva Denlinger, these girls have suc- ceeded in working out the motions and vvords for over thirty cheers. Led by Captains Sherry Landrum and Peggy Evers, the cheerleading squad has done much to establish the motto, They never leave at Brandywine High. ' - '-' .ms.....,4....,mt
