Three groups lifted morale hen one thinks of football one thinks of cold weather, great action, and togetherness radiating throughout a crowd. Three groups that promoted excitement especially during the football season were the band, cheerleaders, and Talonettes. The largest of these was the band, 113 strong, which underwent a year of transition. The biggest change came with a new band director, Mr. Fred Smith, who brought with him new ideas including a new marching style. Mr. Smith was in his seventeenth year of teaching and came to Crowley from Midlothian. The new marching style was the corps style which offered more dramatic halftime shows because it gave freedom of movement, unlike the more traditional military style. fcontinued on page 111 Dazed and confused, Band Sweetheart Lisa Anderson watches her line during early morning marching practice, Four trombones.
