Last spring the Dobyns- Bennett Varsity Band spent the weekend of May 25, 26, and 27 at Sixiflags Over Georgia. Leaving on a bus Friday afternoon, they ar- rived at the Holiday lnn late that night, along with a downpour of rain. Anxiously anticipating Saturday's trip, most everyone stayed up late Friday night, playing cards and watching televi- sion. C Saturday everyone boarded the bus to Six Flags. The rain had stopped during the night and the sun was shining brightly. Upon ar- rival, the group spiit up and, according to rumor, never found anyone again. Some band members said it seemed as if 10,000 people were there. Although all the lines were long, most stu- dents managed to ride each ride several times. The band members re- turned to their motel around midnight Saturday. They found out thatithey had been a part of a record crowd of over 40,000 peo- ple. lt was also declared that everyone was going to bed, but somehow it just didn't happen that way. Around 2:00 Sunday morning, one group found -outithat al- though they had given it their best efforts, swimming just wasn't allowed at that time of the morning. The-Dobyns-Bennettr boosters sponsored a pan-,L i cake breakfast with all the trimmings at Dobyns-Ben- nett High School. The break- fast was to raise money for girls' sports and the Activi- ties office. Teachers, par- ents, and principals cooked pancakes for the hungry crowds. There was entertainment, too. Previous athletes from D-B, Linc Jarvis and Skip Brown, attended. Because most people did not go to sleep, there were few peopie to wake up Sun-1 day morning. These night owls slept on the trip home.
