Band Displays A Time For IVIusic By Performing Mr. Clarence Romero directed the red and white band through another successful year at Cobre High School. The band consisted of 50 members. As a money making project, they sold booster stickers. This money was used to finance transportdtion for band trips and for a fund for uniforms. Members of the band who performed in parades and at football games, also auditioned in Las Cruces for All-State and for various positions with Pep band and Stage band. Among the people who tried out for All-State were, Elsie Parker, Danny Bleak, Robert Gonzales, and Mike Garza. During the month of April, Stage band held a cake walk at the Bayard Shopping Center. The money that they raised helped pay for their expenses while playing for the concert in Animas, where they demonstrated their abilities to help Animas in deciding whether to start their own band.

Band Majorettes Go Scottish In Their Uniforms ||F |S| f l fii H Senior, Virginia Baca Junior, Judy Jocks Cobre High School majorettes add color and glamour to the band. The majorettes for the 1970-71 school year were Mary Ann Garcia, Evangeline Holguin, Judy Jackson, Vir- ginia Baca and head majorette Yolanda Garcia. The majorettes are chosen for their good posture, poise, stances and originality in routines. The girls performed at all home football games and twirled with fire batons during half time of the Cobre-Silver game. They made up their routines by practicing during and after school with the marching band. When not twirling, the girls participate in the band itself. Mary Ann and Evangeline play the trombone, Judy the flute, Virginia the bass clarinet and Yolanda alto clarinet. Senior, Evangeline Holgu Senior, Mary Ann Garcia
