' What was the formula for their | success? A lot of hard work! stated Dave Wynn. Starting in the summer, there was the drill team camp and a two week camp for the entire BSR. During the first quarter, the practice lengthened to every day until 5:00 p.m. and even sometimes on Saturday. This formula would not have worked without dedicated members. These kids are hard working and dedicated to the goal of doing their best, commented Mr. Locke. The BSR members proved this by the many hours practicing and raising about 6,000 dollars just for their trip to Northern California in the fall. bsr 179

Never Walk Alone BSR wasn ' t just practices, hard work and awards. It was also filled with family togetherness. It was just like a family with all the disappointments and joys, said Anita Reeves. This togetherness was evident both before and after competitions. Marian Cook stated, Before a tournament, we would give each other a hug and flowers for good luck. Dawn Lee described the scene after a competition, No matter if we won or not, we ' d hug each other and cry. Leading the BSR in the Lester Oaks parade the banner proudly marches down Magnolia. This closeness helped BSR members in many ways. Senior Sam Carreras stated, When I made the jump from junior high to high school, the closeness I developed with some of the members eased the pain of uncertainty and the probability of not being accepted. Many incoming freshmen developed close friendships during the summer workshop and practices as did Carreras. BSR, to me, was like my home away from home, exclaimed Blake Williams.
