5 ' , I As the Gold Dusters stood ready to march out on to the field and perform their routine a voice came over the loud speaker, Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the Jersey Village Gold Dusters! Everyone in the stands clapped as the girls marched on the field and, at the sound of the whistle, began their performance. I wanted to be the best I could be, Karen Rose said. Practice for the half-time performances took many hours of hard work every afternoon. In addition to school performances Gold Dusters participated in half- time at the Cy-Fair Ses- quecentennial, half-time at a Rockets game and the Livestock Show and Rodeo opening ceremonies. They also entered in competitions such as the Houston Invita- tional at the Astorarena and a National competition in San Marcos, Texas, where they received Grand Sweepstakes for their outstanding performances. Not only did being a part of Gold Dusters give the members a good workout and alot of experience in dancing, it gave them new and close friends. We stuck together both in and outside of Drill. We were like one huge family, Deann Regeine said. Written by Meridith Schaefer. And...Fiv , ' , even, Eight By helping out at football games and practices, Escorts, Andy Correll, Craig Blankenburg and Chris Eaves and Manager, Carol Chumley, made the year easier for the Gold Dusters. Being in Gold Dusters meant alot to me and this year I had a great time being manager and seeing the Gold Dusters do their best, Chumley said. After dedicating many hours to practice, Miss Diane Bucey, Director, led the Gold Dusters to a very successful year at competition. For their novelty routine at competition in San Marcos, the G Dusters perform to Somebody Come and Play . 84 Gold Dusters Double Page Spread by Meridith Schae

After many hours of practice and hard work, the day of com- petition had finally arrived. The competition was held in San Marcos, Texas. The Gold Dusters entered into three dif- ferent areas, novelty, high kick and military and received superior ratings in each. They were awarded Grand Sweepstakes. The dances for competition were so much fun because they were so different from football season, Paige Armstrong said. The Spring Show, which took place on April 11 and carried the theme of Bop and Rock with the 50's and 60's, also took a great deal of time and dedication. In order to be prepared for the Spring Show, we had to make sure the dances, lights, curtains, emcees, costumes, pro- grams, tickets, Dustettes, sound and backdrops were finished and ready to go, Miss Diane Bucey said. The positive feelings among the Gold Dusters played a very important part in the quality of the performances, Kerry Mayfield said. The Spring Show was a blast! Gold Dusters would not be the same without it, Karen Rose said.
