In their inspection formation, waiting to perform at the District III Competition, both drill team and band members recalled the previous week' end in Moscow, Idaho, While their minds wan- dered to the Marching Bands of America Com- petition, fear of past events warmed their bodies in the brisk air. During the weeks before MBA, the constant drizzling rain had been a negative contributor toward the unit's preparation, but far beyond the setback of the weather was the fact that the Golden Eagle Marching Unit was small- er than normal, The Iiagles did the best they could in the finals, but there were two other units who were better and bigger. liveryone's attention reverts as the unit moves. with sophistication, toward their off-field position.

The halt comes and they're in the beginning formation. The majority ofthe unit thinks about the drill and steps, while some band members recall when their leader, Mr. King, insisted fiercely that they put feet in carry and horns together. He had the ability to put a twinkle in someones eye at the oddest moments. Capital, you may take the field for competition, blurted the loud speakers over- head. Everyone's breathing intensified. The past thoughts about being too small to soar above the larger units lingered in the backs of every- best we can, and, Give 'em fits. That's all that really mattered. Onlookers in the crowd were astounded to see the consistant sharp techniques of the drill team and were blown away with the band's crescendos and upfield pushes. Before they realized it, the unit was in its final formation. It was over. The decision was now in the judges hands. The drum majors and drill team captains were down on the track waiting to receive the results and everyone in the stands who belonged to the Golden Unit joined hands, hoping and praying. They were small and weren't supposed to win . . . but they did . . . they won just about one's mind.

They raise spirit ana' applause while . Shining hroagh M asic As he stepped into the music wing, he entered a new world-a world where chromatics and arpeg- gios are a way of lifeg a world where staccatos and retards are expressed, not just talked about. In this setting, eighth notes and quarter rests are studied, practiced, and eventually mastered. Through the double door, he saw the group that he had only read about-Symphonic Band. A group that practically lived in this one room. Symphonic Band began after the successful com- pletion of' Marching Band season. Members, who were thoroughly frozen from night practices, were urged to practice their instruments to further im- prove their musical ability and tone quality. The band competed at the Boise State Invitational and the District III Music Festival. Students in Sym- phonic Band were also encouraged to participate in Pep Band, This group, made up of numerous band members, played at all of the home basketball games. They added spirit and encouragement to the games with such songs as Horse , Dallas , The Pink Panther , and joshua . To prepare them- selves, they practiced one and a half hours before each game in order to give more variety to music at the games. RIZADING TIIIEIR MUSIC, Saxophonists.
