Steve Walsh plays the tympany drums at the Christmas concert. The concert was well attended as many parents and friends showed up to listen. Showing lots of spirit at OSU band day are Verissa Rose, Brown Swindall, Dale Fox, and Amy Wells. The Coquille band worked hard trying to out cheer the other bands. Band starts on a good note Throughout the year, the band participated in many interesting activities, starting off with the OSU band day trip. The band members and the flag team met at the school at the inhuman hour of 4:30 a.m. and rode school buses to Corvallis where they marched in a parade and performed at an OSU football halftime show. They also showed a lot of spirit cheering with the Washington State Cougars cheerleaders. Amy Wells said her favorite part of the day was watching the football game. The Christmas concert done along with the choir was one of the best-attended concerts of the year. They tried something new: the jazz band played a few songs by themselves. It went over well with the audience, who seemed to enjoy it a great deal. The big event of the year was Devilrieties. This was the first time the band has ever had it two years in a row. It is usually only done every other year. Heather Rooney said the highlight of the evening for her was the We are the World song performed by the choir and the cast. Overall, the band did a very good job organizing the whole production. The band’s leadership relied not only on Mr. Bill Kester, the band's new director, but also on the band council. The council included president Jenny Haldiman, vice-president Nathan Reed, secretary Rachael Reed, and treasurer Christine Schmidt.

Marna Magnuson. Tara Marshall. Teresa Woodward, and Rachel Reed keep lime with the music in band. They are performing at the Christmas concert which was a great success. Performing at OSU are Carlin Johnson and Kevin Miller. The band traveled to Corvallis for the day to march in a parade and play in a half time show. Warming up for a half-time show are Craig Munsee, David Bone, and Tiffany Hammer. One of the more entertaining things the band did for a half time show was the scramble drill they performed at homecoming. 14 Marquez, Tina McCrorey, Mark Moss, Kevin Nash, Cathleen Oeleis, Desiree Class of '86

Two make all-league Putting an effort Into the pitch, James Nix throws the ball into home. Bryon White waits for a play at first base. Tony Arrant and Richard Herold laugh about a play on the field. Richard almost overthrew Bryon White at first base, but Bryon snagged the ball out of nowhere. It was a tough year for the baseball team as they finished the season with a four and eight league record. The season started on a strange note, went downhill, and then started an upward climb late in the season. The strange note was a tie game with Reedsport. When the game was finished at a later date, the Coquille Red Devils were victorious. Before the team finished the game with Reedsport, they lost their first three games. The team finished their slide as they lost the next three in a row. After the first seven games, the team was one and six. Then the team started to get hot with victories in the next three games over Myrtle Point, Gold Beach, and Brookings. It looked like the team might finish at .500. The season ended on a down note as the team lost their last two games to finish with a winning percentage of .333 in league and a tie for fifth. Coquille had two all-league selections: senior Wade Tater Luckman, who had a .485 batting average, and senior Ken Jerin, who had a .360 batting average. Sophomore Corey Lucas was an honorable mention with 49 strikeouts in seven games. Corey also pitched two one hitters. Wade was the MVP while Ken was voted most improved. The junior varsity team finished the season with a league record of one and seven. The team had four league rain outs. This was the first year of coaching baseball for Kip Parret. The players voted on five awards that were handed out at the end of the season. Best offensive player was sophomore Jason Hagen. Best defensive player was junior Richard Herold. Richard was also the most inspirational along with sophomore James Nix, and Richard was also the most valuable player. Most improved player was sophomore Eric Zanni.
