Stage. Perhaps the most interesting activity was the Latin Bowl — a Romanized version of It's Academic. The Latin Club, though small in number, proved a dead language doesn't always yield a dying culture.

HI Striving to earn the funds needed to support a Bolivian foster child, the Spanish Club sponsored a number of successful bakesales. Participation in a Charity Fair also aided the club's financial status. Members donated items for sale and manned the colorfully decorated booth. A well-attended and greatly enjoyed Christmas Dinner hosted a Spanish speaking guest. In addition, Latin American students attending Marshall were invited to join in the festivities. Trips to restaurants and informative meetings rounded out the Spanish culture and customs presented throughout the year by the Spanish Club. German Club — Gummi Bears right? Well yes, but there was more to the club than those infamous chewies. As in previous years the club participated in the Octoberfest, a holiday celebrated in the early fall. The members also had a Christmas party which included caroling in German. Various other activities rounded out the social schedule. Speaking the club's language was not a prequiste to joining the German Club. Membership was extended to anyone interested in German life and customs. Several of Marshall's foreign students were also asked to participate in an effort to make them feel more involved and comfortable within the school. 85

Winning a cash prize of one-hundred and fifty dollars, the Wind Ensemble, Marshall's most experienced and polished instrumental group, placed first at the Langley Wind Ensemble Festival. Fourth period was devoted everyday to practicing for the Langley Band Festival and other area festivals which highlighted the year. Members of the Wind Ensemble achieved their positions by auditioning and improved their positions by challenging a higher chair. In the Spring, excelling Wind En-semblists were chosen to compete in the All Virginia Band, and volunteered for the Solo and Ensemble Festival. Also, the Wind Ensemble as a whole looked forward to the annual exchange trip to Wilmington, North Carolina. Largely a preparatory band for future Wind Ensemblists, the Concert Band was also involved in a few area festivals and school concerts such as the District Band Festival, the Festival Concert and the Pop Concert at Marshall. These concerts helped students become accustomed to performing. During the football season, the Concert Band and the Wind Ensemble fused together to form the Marching Band. The Marching Band was responsible for pre-game and halftime entertainment during all the home football games. A few members of the bands, better known as the Pep Band, created a festive and cheering atmosphere during pep rallies, a few away football games, and the It's Academic meets.
