Seven out of seven times they took no less than 1st place, leaving their competition behind in a proud cloud of dust. Everywhere CHS band went, they brought the crowd to their feet for a stand- ing ovation. Their performance was always filled with fire; the spark being lit by Sparky with his infamous knock their socks off. and boy did they! Of course their number one fan, Mr. Chakales. was always there to lend his support. The season's scores ranged from 70.8 to an astounding 86.35 at Chapter Championship. Once again they traveled to Penn- sylvania for the Atlantic Coast finals moving up their position to 5th best band in the east. Earl Jester. Vicki Zwiep, and Pam Hamnmer along with our new percussion instructors, Sheila Bryant and Mike Breton, prepared a superior show for the band. The program opened with Topaz and was followed by Lullaby of Broadway, Dawg Grass. Rainmaker, and Softly As I Leave You. Solos were expertly performed by Loren Nelson, Robby Winslow, and Anita Winslow with duets by Andy Stauffer and Preston Wood, Robby and Anita Winslow, Dan Kelley, and Kevin Hugel. The drum majors. Leslie Ritchie, Jessica Fenwick, and Gabby Houchens led the band to victory with grace, style, class, and pride. Leading a fine flag unit were Tall Flags Missy Sullivan and Jenny Wood with Swing Silks Stephanie Butler and Pam Thornburg. Work, all we ever do i work, work, work!
