That Baaaaad Charger Beal Up In Arms. Drum major David Heflin gets caught in the act of conducting the band. Sassy Sax. Ben Buckley strikes a classical pose while goofing off on band picture day. Ben, one of 28 seniors in the band, served as leader of his section. Football season consisted of more than a battle between two taped up and girdled teams. In the 15 min- utes before the second half, an even more heated battle took place — the battle of the bands. Underclassmen didn ' t really get into this mini-war. It had become routine to the Jun- iors and Sophomores to concern themselves with butterflies and sweaty palms. Seniors, however, really got into this major confron- tation. Thoughts of blowing the other band off the field filled their heads as they performed before ap- preciative fans. After all the hard practice they owed it to themselves. With all 110 band and Flag and Ri- fle Corp members in the bandroom 2nd period, Mr. Mayfield could boast of having the largest class in school. While Mr. Mayfield got down to the nitty gritty of the mu- sic, David Heflin picked up on the tempo to add a final polish to their routine. Sectional leaders Misty Jackson, Jeffree Taylor, Pam Corder, Onetta Starling, Ben Buck- ley, Gary Ard, James Brown, Jimmy Ratcliff, Greg Robinson, and James Ray worked with their divisions to achieve the highest de- gree of perfection. Band members displayed and deve- loped their talent through perfor- mance, competition, and clinics 48 Band, Flag and Rifle Corp
