The Spirit Band lives up to its name as it competes and places, including taking a first at Bellefontaine The 1981-82 marching season found the Stritch Band in more places, with more projects, more trophies, and more spirit than ever before. After creating the motto - S-P-I-Rf I-T - Cstanding for Success, Pride, In- tegrity, Respect, Involvement, and Trustb the organization then in- creased their training staff by two, adding Mr. Howard Stevens and Mr. Randy Bialecki to the previous yea.r's staff of directors, Mr. Doug Williams, Miss Mona Leos, Miss Rachael War- din, and Mr. Dave Gierke. Once a crew was established, it was time for tag day Cwhere 354,000 was raisedj, and then it was on the road. The band traveled first to Parkhills High School in Fairborne, Ohio, where they placed eighth, then moved on to Lexington, Ohio, where they were bumped out of second and into fourth place due to a tiining penalty. Back home at neighboring Lake High School, another timing penalty knocked them out of first into a second place by seven-tenths of one point. The yearly Marching Bands of America competition at the UT Glass Bowl brought competitors that were too high-powered for the Cards to make a showing against and they finished out of the finals. The gloom quickly blew past, though, as the band traveled to Belle- fontaine where they placed first in their class, and earned a first place for majorettes, as well as a first for field commanders. As a whole, the Cardinal Spirit Mar- ching Band had the most successful year ever. Left: ln a Jazz Band appearance at the Music Vest, Rodney Boman, Larijy Warner, :ind Sheri Vail LOOL Hey, Jude.
