Www hot comes to your mind when you think of the bond? AD Musicol perfectionists com- peting ot stote festivol. BD Bold performers entertoining or holftime. O Dedicoted mu- sicions procticing in the hot sun. lf you chose oll of the obove, you prooobly un- derstond ond oppreciote the uniqueness of the bond. Becouse of Mr, Thomos Burroughs' post influence ond through new bond director Mr. Gory White, the bond, some students feel, hos become more versotile. Al- though Mr. White feels he hos not chonged the bond, his most obvious im- poct could be seen on the field during holftime, All l did wos offer o little different style ond the students responded to it. People would come up to me ot vorious times ond soy how much they enjoyed the shows. The students told me people would coll them ot home ond compliment them. Even Mr. Bolley soid the phone wouldn't stop ringing with people compli- mentlng the bond, soid Mr. White. In October, the bond competed in the De Ridder Morching Festivol. They re- ceived on overoll Superior roting. Hours of proctice poid off in the form of pride. We reolly hod to worlf for it. When they coiled out our score, we were so excited. We finolly reolized oll those hours of proctice, oll the sweot, ond negotive comments finolly poid off, soid Koryn Tro- hon. Possing olong trodltions is importont to most older ployers, Experienced ployers worls with freshmen, teoching them morching ond ploying skills. lt's importont to us becouse we know we hove on impoct on future bonds, soid Jeff Ailsen.
