lthough the Marching Warhawks were small in number they were at heart. The band con- sisted of twenty-five mem- bers who worked hard to prepare a special Homecom- ing show. Mr. Eddie Le- na acks has done a great job in his second year as band di- rector here at John C. Also, Drum Major Gale Nettles, Band Captain Randy Ad- dison, Assistant Drum Major Lara Craven, and Percussion Captain Duke Hipp have all showed outstanding leader- ship qualities. Lara Craven proved her worthiness as a drum major when she performed at half- time at Homecoming and in a local parade. Gale and Lara attended a four day camp at the University of South Carolina. The band marched in the Walterboro Christmas pa- rade and several members were in the Solo Ensemble Festival at USC in January. The band was very proud of three members, JJ Evans, Kevin Beach and Toni Hooker, who received supe- rior ratings. It’s Not Quantity, It’s Quality : i . . ...

It Takes Practice (Above) Flutes and clarinets practice the Alma Mater. The Junior and Begin- ner band worked hard this year under the di- rection of Mr. Eddie Le- '-macks. The highlight of the year was marching at half-time for the Homecoming football game where they proudly played the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.7’ The band should be proud of their ac- complishment which every- one enjoyed The two separate groups met during their recess three days a week. The Beginner group consisted of 20 dedi- cated members who soon hope to have gained the ex- perience needed to join the Marching Warhawks. The Junior group was much smaller but also consisted of hard working students. Al- though few in number, both groups worked hard and steady to make the student body of John C. Calhoun proud. Band 15
