Since our talent is music and not car- pentry, we quickly came to the conclusion that we couldn’t build the trophies we need- ed. Luckily for us. however, the businesses of Marion graciously offered their support by donating them. Despite the grueling ordeal that had to be gone through, the outcome made everything worthwhile. People from area counties lined the streets of Marion, awed by the talent of the bands. That same night Rocket Stadium was filled with vivid colors, streamers, signs, and screaming fans cheering on their favorite band. Needless to say. the 1980 First Annu- al Crittenden County Marching Invita- tional Contest was a true success!! COMPETITION RESULTS Best Auxiliary Best Field Commander . . .... Grayson Co.

First Festival Re(sound)ing Success Do this, do that, oh my gosh! How are we gonna get everyth- ing done for our first annual band festival? It’s impossible! We don't even have any of the bands to come yet. Director Davis, festival chairman “PJ” Jennings, band boost- ers. and co-chairman Jeff Baker were approaching the nervous breakdown stage as mass confusion and chaos increased. For a band festival you obviously have to have bands! Well, to solve this problem we sent letters to area bands with all neces- sary information about the contest. We received nine positive responses: Providence, Lyon Co., Webster Co., Heath, Gray- son Co., Caldwell, Ballard Co., Reidland, Union County, and of course the host band-“us.” Now for the fun partll Committees, committees, and more committees; I'm sick of the word committee! Have you ever tried to find a volunteer to fry 2,000 hamburgers, assemble 2,000 hot dogs, and inform all the visiting bands where to park their buses and when to warm up? Pulling teeth. But thanks to all the band boosters and the incomparable Jim Fred Mills we accom- plished these tasks with ease. The parents didn’t do all the work, though. The students didn’t think it was fair for the over-thirties to have all the fun. so they helped too. All rightl We did it! What do you mean not yet? We have to find five judges to score the participating bands? How in the name of John Philip Sousa are we supposed to that, huh? Mr. “Daddy D” Davis found the solution to this problem by spend- ing a solid week dialing long distance telephone numbers. A kingdom for a push-button phone! Thanks to a little persistance and a lot of stubborness a quintet of scorers was found. 10 Opening

Go Big Blue As a rule the most exciting and hectic week of the school year is the one of football homecoming-this year was no exception. On Monday students showed their ‘‘overall” spir- it-flashes of blue, red. white, green, and even orange caught the eye between classes. Tues- day was decreed to be jersey day, and every- one was to wear his or her favorite jersey. The response to this was fantastic, as even the teachers got into the act ... Ero incognito. Reggie Hart displays his spirit in a rather un- usual manner. Freshmen Dale Koon and Pat Guess pa- rade blue white on Jersey Day. Vicki Sanders lends Coach Brunner her bonnet for Hat Day.
