To some people this type of dedication was unbelievable. Take for instance the newest members of the Capital band, the sophomores. When they were at Fairmont or Hillside they had to do only a fraction of the work that they were doing at Capital. lt was a big adjustment for them but they thought the effort was well worth the re- ward. One sopho- more, for instance, which felt that way was Lisa Martin, Al- though being in the band was hard work, we were rewarded by the exhilaration of learning a challeng- ing new piece and meeting new friends. But being in the band wasn't all hard work. There were also parties and other social gather- ings. But most of all there was support. When Joy and Sasha died all the band grieved, and all the members of the band supported each oth- er and tried to cheer each other up. They put in the time and the effort for a rea- son. School pride was that reason. A per- son could see that pride in the way they marched and played. Finally the practice is over and the band breaks up. After marching and play- ing for two solid hours the band is really ready for a rest. They retire to the band room to put away their instru- ments. Once in the band room the con- versation is light and the fatigue is evi- dent. After their in- struments are put away. They get into their cars and head for home to do homework, watch t.v., or just to sleep. Marching Band ll9

Sud- denly the band played the first chords of the open- I ty by the judges, the opener's formations were gentle as well as stimulating. To retain the band's same quality for excel- lence, they played di- verse rhythms that stretched from classi- cal jazz.

At District III, Cap- ital won Best Winds, Best Band, and Best Drum Majors. Borah High School won Best Music and Nampa High took home Best Percussion. Meridian was too large to get anything on the field, and Borah didn't have the style to take it away, remarked Lisa Clark. ' Mr. King summed up the whole march- ing season by saying, f l'm very, very hap- py with them. The kids say they like to do the best they can, and they certainly did. No question about it. 5 If ' X 1 : 4. 5 ,. ,NPN if 4 Dazzling the crowd at District lll the band strives for perfection Overjoyed by the outcome are Julie .
