Head majorettes are junior, Coleen Greer and senior Mary Kay Yuknis. The Rhythmic beat of the drums and the thrilling blare of the horns introduce our fine Dyer Central Band. It has won many contests and has proven itself an ex¬ ceedingly superior band under the capable leadership of Mr. Douglas Jordan. The band is divided into many smaller divisions. Much of the thrill and excitement of the football games were provided at half time by the Dyer Central March¬ ing Band. The precision with which they march and the quality of the music they produce have gained much recognition for them. At the basketball games, the cheer¬ ing section was excellently supported by the pep band. The dance band has provided dreamy music for many of the social events of the year.
