Name That Band One of the most important things for a good reputa- tion is the first impression. Who is in charge of mak- ing the first impression? The Band members who march in front of the Band are, and they rarely get any attention. We are talking about our own Banner Team. The Team had a rough time at the begining of the year: not enough members, no uniforms, and teach- ing and learning new routines just to name a few of the problems that faced them. The team worked hard and practiced for many hours. All the hard work finally paid off when the team pulled through and won several awards. An important key to our success this year was the dedication of our team members, indicated Captain, Junior, Tara Cook. With all the ups and downs throughout the year, we've all learned a lot about ourselves and each other. I hope we can set a trend of success for the future Banner teams here at Madison, commented Lieutenant, Junior, Jackie Dolan. Captain. Tara Cook and Lieutenant.

The Facts Of Flags Tall Flags are always the best possible high-lights at a field show or parade, and are among the most spirit- ed of organizations. The question is, where were the Flags during Marching Season? Intense reaserch an- swers the question. At the begining of the season, five Banner members were persuaded by director, Ernie Morgan to join Flags for the field shows. Patty Switzer, Tina Thomp- son, Heather Grass, Annette Porter, and Joanne Hel- kenn became known as the Flag Squad. Once the squad was together, problems emerged. Who's the Captain? Lieutenant?? Advisor??? Good question!!!! Banner Captain, Junior, Tara Cook ar- ranged practices and tried to bring some spirit de corp into the team, but there was little enthusiasm. Irene Lopez was hired to show the team the basics of flagging, and former Flag's Lieutenant, Senior, Lori Switzer was successful in teaching the team a routine for the opener song, Ventura. The Flags only performed twice. Patty, Tina, An- nette, and Joanne performed at the All City Schools Show. Tina Thompson, a present Banner member, was the only Flag member to perform at the San Dieguito Costal Tournament. But, Where are the Flags? Junior, Patty Switzer answered, We could've stayed together if we had a Captain, a Lieutenant, and an advisor. Maybe next year Madison will enjoy a more successful Flag Squad. Tall Flags 103
