They were the only all girl rifle corps in the district involved with band. They worked hard to perform well with the band and fulfill their expectations. They practiced with the band in the mornings and on their own after school. Because of the new members many hours of practice were needed to teach them the routines. Kellie Roberts, rifle captain, said, This years performances were a lot better than last years.

All of them agreed that the bruises and cuts were worth it, they achieved a great deal this year. We accomplished a great deal this year through unity and determination and hopefully we'II do even better next year, said Dana Matthews, rifle girl. 66 Rifles Skill is displayed by Isabel Ponce. av r Kellie Roberts performs during halftime.
