Dancing Donettes Keep on Kicking By Mary Durkin Photos by Chuck Ross The Coronado Dancing Donettes had to adjust to an administrative change this year which forced the line to perform sep- arately from the marching band, and de- prived the Donettes of competitive band days and band camp. As P.E. teacher and advisor, Mrs. Juana Fredericks explained, The change didn't enhance the Donettes as intended, rather it was degrading for them. But they adjusted well and worked hard together.

Donette Captain Angel Cutruzzula. During the regular football season the Donettes stepped onto the field to per- form their dances after the band complet- ed its show. Basketball fans were enter- tained at half-time by the Donettes, accompanied by the band or a recorded tape. A few special events included a per- formance for a convention at the Pointe Resort. The Donettes also danced at half- time forthe Phoenix Pride indoor soccer team. During the summer the Donettes held practice every weekday morning before going to San Diego, for a one week stay at DeAnza Campland. In between practices at the camp the Donettes took time out to goto the beach and took a trip to Disney- land. Going away together for a week, real- ly gave us a chance to get closer and become better friends, and a better team, and we worked very hard, states junior Donette Debbie Newton. ,fl 159' ,M X

l. Color Guard: A Superior Addition By Blaine Lewis ln its second year, the Coronado color guard has found it's place on campus. They were a very valuable asset to the band this past year. The color guard is made up of the flag and rifle groups and have dazzled audiences all year long. They are one of the top groups, if not the top group in the state. With their multi- colored flags and choreographed dance steps they have won superior ratings in all their competitions. They are excellent and have made me real proud of them, exclaimed instructor Liza Meier. The Color guard marches with the band EARLY IN THE school year, Caitlin Ball practices her flag routines. THE FLAG GIRLS dance to a superior rating at ASU band day. 44 Color Guard They had .tc perform to jazzy mu- sic which is very difficult to do. The dances used were done in modern jazz :style that are hard fordance classes. -- Liza Meier and use colors for special effect. The colors go along with the mood of the mu- sic being played, stated Meier, The red blue green and purple flags are kind of representing the jazzy tape type of music being played. A certain color is used for a certain song. FLAG GIRLS WORKon one of their many routines on the auditorium stage. The numbers they do are very diffi- cult, continued Meier. The color guard practiced every morning from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 in the morning, and they also prac- ticed on their own after school. They had to perform jazzy music, which is very difficult to do. The dances used are done in a modern jazz style and even dance classes find that type of dancing difficuIt. concluded Meier. The newly formed rifle squad was led by captain Linda Ftosigno. Rosigno is the only freshman on the rifle squad. The flag corps was led by co-captain Carrie Ann Terrell and Sheri Shockner.
