AN here was always a stand full of supportive parents to cheer the band members on to a success- ful performance. The dedicated parents often made the roughest practices bear- able, stated Julie Sams. Band members spent many grueling hours rehearsing and marching to reach their goal of perfection. This was obvious by their selection to participate in many prestigious competitions. Some of these competitions included the South Eastern Regional Competition sponsored by the Marching Bands of America and held at Western Carolina University, and the Grand Nationals held at Eastern Tennes- see State University. Transportation to and from these events was one of the reasons behind many of the fundraisers. Some of the fund raisers included a rock-a-thon, a cookie sale, and a citrus fruit sale. Fund raisers are used to raise our operating budget, commented band director Mr. Wally Conrath. New additions to the band included new uniforms and equipment for the color guard and a well liked motivation clinic. On specified days during the week, a guest speaker would address the band on what it took to be the best. He encour- aged us to be optimists and go for the gusto, stated color guard member, Becky Walker. The notorious tubas are noted for their crazy antics at pep rallies, Bob Allen, Billy Pitts, Jason Sams, and Ffichard Hembree show one of their signs. Clarinet players, Freddie Palmer and Stephanie Glover, go through half time routines during practice. Affarr-hinn Da fl Q0

' Pep rallies are the best! - Laurie Zimmerman ep rallies were only a small part of the J. M cheerleading squad's du- ties. Team members also spent their time and energy selling programs at the varsity games and practicing weekly for both the basketball and football teams. Cheering during two seasons meant twice as much practice for the spirited crew. After being selected in the spring the cheerleaders started working during the summer on cheers for the upcoming football season. At the close of football, the squad immediately began work on cheers appropriate for the winter basket- ball season. Cheering during basketball season takes more dedication because of the four games a week, expressed team captain Renee Armstrong. Four freshmn and four sophomores en- ergetically cheered their teams to suc- cess. Members of the JM cheerleading team included: ,Renee Armstrong, Kristi Rice, Donna Tolleson, Deannie Thompson, Jennifer Ferguson, Mickey Grimes, Kim Nix, Laurie Zimmerman, and sponsor, Ms. Alice Foster.
