Claudine Bragg, Drum Majorette. Here Comes the Band Majorettes: Loretta Douglas, Carolyn Baugher, Claudine Bragg fDrum Majorj, Connie Burris, Carolyn Wilson. The majorettes are the executive branch of the marching band. They give the first impression of the marching and add to the sense of precisionwhich this group exhibits. Four of these five alert high steppers are seniors, who have served faithfully with the band for four years. The concert and marching bands have put a sparkle into many activities during the past year. Mr. Ron Phillips, a recent graduate of college, has proved to be a versatile, en- thusiastic, and capable director. Under his direction, the marching band has done vari- ous block and figure formations. The con- cert band has been studying technical in- tonation, observing musical abbreviations and markings, technique and ability for fast passages. These two groups have appeared before the public fifteen times prior to March 15, and plans have been made for district contests, which will be held in April, 1957. E Z
