Ol Jusc the mention of a pep rally gets students, teachers, cheerleaders, and football players all in a dither. When the clock rolls around to sixth period there’s no way a teacher can compete with the clock watching eyes. The fluttering hearts, students anxious for the day to be over and the pep rally to begin. Senior Donna Hunsinger said, ‘’The pep rally helps me to show how much | love being a senior and how proud | am of the Bulldogs.”’ Laura Cline, varsity cheerleader, remarked, ’| think a pep rally is a great way to end the day.” | “It helps to know the school is behind you when you play football. It gives you confidence to win,” stated Barry Shuford, senior football player. Anyway you look at it, a pep rally is sure to be a tradition at Burns High for a long time.

BAND... from a new angle “Eye catching’ . . . Snazzy. aaa “Looked Tuff’ and ‘’Really Badd” were some of the expressions the crowd shouted out as they watched the leaning Bulldog band. The act of the lean was derived from a drum corp, band director and drill arranger Carl Rohleder saw a few years ago. Hungarian Dance 6 was the “Eye Catcher’, as remarked senior Latrece Hogue. The dance had 13 tempo changes and the band went into each one of them differently. They used the newest addition to the horn line, mela phones, to give the band ballanced instrumentation. The horns give the middle sound the instrumental needed. The melaphone solo played by sophomore Karen Walker set the stage for a ‘‘romantic” but yet ““energetic”’ moment in the performance. The trumpet duet came next and featured senior Mark Southard and sophomore Debra Spurling. ‘It was fun, not the serious type” replied senior Mark Southard. “It put the band into a flowing movement” remarked sophomore Feliscia Roberts. The colorguard gives the band the “needed edge”’ in Hungarian Dance 6. They did a real Hungarian dance in the middle and “‘the whole drill seemed to come easier with a more positive attitude from the whole guard’’, added senior Anita Humphries. The rifles switched to flags during the dance. “It took more muscle to support the flag pole but, | got used to it’, replied Teresa Hoffman. The guard ended the show with the tossing of the flags between two girls which was “totally together’, remarked senior Renee Lynch. . ¢ Noe | ‘oats, Poe . ‘ 7h aD See a% ae Fe i? j : , % rv . ‘The famous lean done, , y exclusively bysjunior Scott.
