Marching Scarlets highlight half- time at K.C. Chiefs ' football game Trying for a closer unity were 180 members of the Marching Scarlets. They all worked together — 110 band members, 46 Steppers, five Majorettes, and 19 Colorguards — to form a large group of performers. Football fans were entertained during pre-game and half-time performances. The groups also performed at Kansas City ' s Worlds of Fun, and band and Majorettes performed at half-time during a Kansas City Chiefs ' game. Mr. Bury, the band director, said, They looked good and performed well. It ' s nice to be at a pro game. Silver Dollar City was another place where they performed successfully, in April. Many fund-raising projects were undertaken: selling socks, cheese, and candy were just a few. The sophomores were enthusiastic about becoming a part of this group. Mr. Bury said, It was better and bigger than ever before. There were more sophomores interested than ever. 1 3ft ABOVE: Marching Scarlets were one group chosen, out of five other high schools and one college, to perform at the Kansas City Chiefs ' football game during the half-time.

Steppers active in assemblies, parades, games Looking for girls with a nice general appearance, sweet smiles, poise, sharp turns, and coordination, Mr. Bury (Band Director), Miss Greenhill (Stepper Sponsor), two Stepper cap- tains from the previous year, three senior Steppers, people from various schools, and one member from each of the three groups — Human Relations, Student Government, and PTSA — chose the group of girls who are called Steppers. Steppers performed at football and basketball half-times, and at pep assemblies. Unusual innovations such as choreography, flashlight routines, and clever maneuvers were used. The Steppers also performed at Valley High School on November 14. TOP: During the Homecoming assembly, the Steppers get the student body and faculty excited, especially the seniors, as they form a 78 for the audience.

Hard practices pay off for girls Keeping busy almost every day, the Steppers, Majorettes and Colorguard practiced. Steppers, with their red and black uniforms and pom poms, went to summer practices from 7 till 9 a.m. three days a week. Majorettes had a different schedule. At first, they practiced from 6 to 8 in the evening, then switched to 6 to 8 in the morning. They tried new things. They twirled fire batons at the Homecoming game. At Christmas time, they used flashlight batons at an assembly. New uniforms were worn by the Colorguard. They, too, practiced quite a bit. It took time and discipline for them to learn new steps. These three groups have spent many hours practicing, and their perfor- mances were appreciated by spec- tators. ABOVE RIGHT: Steppers again perform the E , which has been a tradition for years, at a Pep assembly. BELOW LEFT: The Colorguard puts on an unusual routine at an assembly.
