NEW UNIFORMS Being a member of band brought about some of the usual events that take place and also gave us some new experiences, like being weighed and measured for the new uniforms, standing up for crossing your legs while playing, staying in for chewing gum, having a friendly letter exchange with the school paper, and having a drill team. There were also the times we were giving the director a personnal critique, marching on the frost covered ground, having fun on the return trip from Adventure Land, recei- ving a II at large group contest, getting the wall painted in the band room, and finally, ordering the new uniforms. Oh, but let's not forget the annual breakfast when someone came two hours late, the water fight, the human barbecue, Lisa's waffle batter that you could cut with a knife, and the flat tire.

Though it was old hat for the eighth graders, the seventh graders experi- enced their first year with the High School Band. Activities started early this summer with a trip to Adventureland when Mr. Svendsen got wetter than the kids. Angie Peppers will always remember marching around Ad- ventureland Square. It was fun, considering we almost didn't make it when our tire went bad. Next major project was learning to march. Good thing the Jr. High march with the High School because the High School was in the minority during early morning practice. Jeff and Debbie always worked twice as hard chasing their music down the field. And last, but certainly not least, we got measured for the new uniforms and had our vital figures announced to the world.
