Buc Band Has Great Year The band started off the season with a new band director, Bill Gottschalk, and in new uniforms , which were the pride of every band member. Also the band purchased some new instruments . The band started the year by raising enough money to cover the tour, concert band trips, cokes, dances, special contests, and other activities by selling candles , raising over 558000 dollars. A larger twirling line lead the band, and a flag corp was added. Also some students competed in solo and ensemble con- tests , district through all-state tryouts , freshman all-region band, band concert and sight reading con- tests, and jazz contests. One of the most exciting activities during the year was being able to march in the Astro- dome for a Houston Oiler game. Other band directors were Rod Cannon, Her- man Gauthier, and Ernest Clark. aj Freshman band members march ' 'every which way but loose' ' . bl Twirlers and members of the band are amazed at the huge Astrodome . cj The band and flag line show their talent during half time. dj Everybody plays that swinging music dLu'ing sum- mer band . ei Formations are exciting to watch while being performed by the band . ij Twirlers twirl to the fight song at the booster club pep rally. gj Director Bill Gottschalk lends some advice during UIL contest. hj Rod Cannon directs during a football game . sq' J if I 2 31.

I ! The Student Council stayed busy all year with activities for everyone. A Howdy Dance was held at the beginning of the year for ev- eryone to get reacquainted and for freshmen to get in the swing of Brazoswood. During the football season the council really helped boost spirit for the Bucs by having overalls day, tacky day, rock T-shirt day, and even a sunglasses day. At some of the football games they sold blue and white balloons . Bumper stickers and a carnation sale were also used to raise money for the council. The Student Council District Convention was held at Brazoswood and various schools met together and to discuss current happen- ings at their schools and make plans for more. The Student Council not only planned things for Brazoswood students but they cooked breakfast for the teachers one morn- ing, took presents to the Youth Home, brought ice cream to the nursing home, and took food to needy families. During lunch the council held 3-legged races, jump rope, volleyball, and a mean game of tug-of-war. A student versus facul- ty volleyball game was held in the gym, and the faculty beat the students. At the end of the year, the annual Superlative Show was held by the Student Council, class favorites, the Gallery, and senior honors were an- nounced.
