Psyched Chriaty ( atea somehow found lime to practice alone even before the Swing Silks’ gathered. Careful concentration were the key concerns of Becky Hrahm, Jackie Keamy. and Lisa Vaccaro during the Veterans’ Day Parade on the Naval Base. “Drum majors Heath Haukland, Shelly Dixon, and Denver Gaston is your band ready?” the speaker an- nounces. A salute from the drum majors followed and Chopticon admirers cheered wildly for the Showband of Southern Maryland Choti- con’s marching band was psyched up and ready to per- form to the best of their ability. We knew we had the poten- tial to increase our record every competition. What else could three long hours every night have been for, but to perform for the best? Prac- tice was always needed. Right, Mr. Jester? But the Up flag girls and instrumen- talists found themselves ask- ing, “What am I doing here on a Friday night?” And then their questions were an- swered when the thrill of competition arrived. When asked what members enjoyed the most about band; competition because of the excitement and adrenaline pumping under stadium lights. “To defy the odds and win the chapter again.” was Billy Rayle’s ultimate goal of his last year. Freshman Jonathon Youngsom felt band as a place to work, be involved, and belong ... And first place goes to Chopticon High School. With a careful eye to the other two drum majors, Denver Gaston tried her best to always keep the right tempo. The tuba section, Andy Stauffer and Steve Barber, made their effort for the deep, brass sound. Feature: Marching Band 163

Smiles And Serve thy school and com- munity ... and that’s what these groups did. The NHS did their part by sending members to Margaret Brent to provide a tutoring service for students having problems in Math, Science, and Reading. Varsity Club mem- bers volunteered their time as parking attendants at Foot- ball Games, Graduation, and Baccalaureate. Thanks to the FFA, the baseball and softball teams had nice smooth and level surfaces to play on, for they dragged the field before games. Holding holiday par- ties for kids in various elementary schools was how the FBLA helped their com- munity. Probably least rec- ognized for their services, the Radio Club has provided the school with announcements every morning. Radio Club helps other organizations by informing both students and faculty of bake sales, discos, and sporting events. And last but not least, we saw the FHA prepare food for Faculty and guests on Graduation day. They also put together a basket of food for the less fortunate. These groups played a big part in all of our lives, and their time and effort was greatly appreciated by facul- ty, students, and the people of the community. Skinned knees and bumped bruises were handled by Leslie Richards, a volunteer at the elemen- tary relay races, held at our Alma Mater. Many recruited Varsity Club members helped their community by rooting on kids, recording competi- tion places. and running errands for Mr. Baker. Don’t you even try! Keep the water on the cars. Mr. Youngkins at- tempts to persuade Shelly Dixon not to pull the trigger. Feature: Sevice Groups 165
