Nick DOlin: Nick Dotin keeps very busy with his music. He is the assistant drum major for the marching band, and he is also a member of a rock'n'roII band outside of school. Nick started playing In the school band in sixth grade at Garner. It was something new to do instead of sports, and since I didn't grow as fast as other guys I stayed with it. I tried out for drums in sixth grade with a broken arm. That didn't work out, so I played french horn instead. I took up the bass in seventh grade, and guitar as a freshman. I also tried out for marching band and made it. I started playing tuba as a sophomore. Nick enjoys being a drum major and said he wants to try out for head drum major next year. I like being a drum major because I like be- ing out there, solo, doing my own thing. I like working in a unit, I love it, but I also like to show-off. As assistant drum major, I'm in the middle of the field, not on the podium so I'm hard to see. I was on the podium for the San Marcos game, and that was a blast. Most of the time, Nick is in charge of the mar- ching lassies. lt started at marching camp at Kerrville. I wasn't doing anything, so Mr. Bridges sent me over to Carl from U.T., who was directing the flags. I picked his brain, because Carl wouldn't be there during the school year. Now I'm in charge of them, I choreograph their routines. Nick is also a member of a rock 'n' roll band. We don't play heavy metal, we play Cars, the Knack, a little new wave. We also play some original material. I write, and some of the members write a little too. We're called Pax, which is Latin for World Peace . We plan on playing a few gigs soon. We have six members, and I do background vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards. Music takes up a lot of Nick's time. We prac- tice four times a week, so I have to go out after rehearsal. A lot of times I bring a girl to rehear- sal and let her listen, then take her out after rehearsal. On Saturday just about everyone in the band brings a girl to rehearsal. Of course, a lot of girls say no when they find out I have to pick them up at 10:15, but most girls understand that I have a responsibility. I-le enjoys the spotlight music puts him in Assistant Drum Major Nick Dotin leads the band in performing at halftime during a varsity football game. Juniors 191
