Golden Music Echoed Honors As the sun first peeked at the new day, the dedicated members of the Golden Eagle Marching Band stretched, donned their instruments and head- ed out to the field. lt was seven o'clock. The musicians stood at attention. The drum majors, Teri and Robin raised their arms. The show began!!! To prepare for marching competitions and halftime shows at football games. Eagle musicians spent each morning and Thursday afternoons in seemingly endless practice drills. ln addition, two weeks of t their time in August was dedicated to band camp. They realized that hard work, together with talent, provided the winning formula. Indeed, their perseverence was well rewarded. On October 20, The Golden Eagle Marching Band strutted onto the University of New Mexico Stadium field as the best in the Pageant of Bands! In addition to recieving best overall, they emerged with the outstanding brass section and outstanding percussion. Mark Woods took the title of outstanding soloist. They also placed fifth in the biggest marching competition of the season. the Zia Marching Band Festival, which included bands form Texas, Illinois, and Colorado. The Marching Band also opened the first day of the Balloon Fiesta. Consequently, the band provided unique opportunities for its members. They could compete for individual honors as well as group. Many tried for a place in All-State. Eldorado had record recipients of this honor. Alan Lee, a senior tuba player, performed in the McDonald's All-American Marching Band, an honor sought by musicians nationally. The drum major summed band opportunities as, probably the best experience at Eldorado as a lead- er! 233
