Out of the Darko of Night, They Proved . . wzctice M akes Perfect After an hour and fifty-three minutes of drill- ing, marking time, and eight - to- five: and as Mr. King yells, again, through his mega- phone off the line band members begin to wonder why they are out there on the march- ing field freezing and sweating to death. Their purpose is reassured when Tubas holler Detail- how do you feel? and everyone, keeping the tradition, responds enthusiasti- 'xi cally We feel good, oh we feel so good - uh! Whether it's the actual truth or not the re-energizing force of the yell gives the mem- bers that extra strength to go through it just one more time. The practices gave march- ing band members the opportunity to get to know each other beyond the average class- room atmosphere. Members learned just how far another member can be pushed physically before they're no longer the sweet Susy they are in class and, because of that people in band shared the rare experience of really get- ting to know what each other are like. The practices did create time conflicts and large amounts of stress but the reward they bring was well worth it. They always have and al- ways will do the best they can.
