Band marches on Austin Secures division 'Ii rating As bits and pieces of Kool and the Gangs superhit Celebration echoed loudly off the walls of the yellow school bus, emotionally psyched up band members clapped, sang and even danced along. There was definitely a party going on as the song sug- gested as the newly crowned regional champion marching band made its way home. Earlier that day, the band competed in the regional marching contest in Vernon and qualified for competition at the state level. Nine days later, on a sunny November afternoon, the band, accompanied by band director Wayne Tympanick and assistant band director Ken Hurst loaded up on to the chartered buses and charged towards Austin and the Univer- sity Interscholastic League State Marching Contest.

Kellerls talent steps on stage and ' Sho cases the stats' We've got talent, yes, we do. We've got talent, how about you? Picture this: A crowd grows restless, the curtain rises and the an- nouncer says, Come on down, you're the next contestant in the talent show. Maybe all talent shows don't start that way, but KHS's first talent show was a big success. I felt l had a lot of students involved that weten't in choir, said Barbara Nathman, Choir sponsor and teacher. Where did an idea for a talent show come from? Nathman felt the Choir needed a way to raise money. Money wasn't the only reason for the talent show. The show also gave the students a chance to perform for each other. Acts ranged from vocal solos to tap dancing. The talent show also had a rock band called Defiance, The performers in the show were Monica Klinkerman, Anne Daniels, Tracey Simpkins, Michelle Varner, Kim Buchanek, Rhonda Moore, Ann Beebe, Aimee Perritt, Jenni Sumpter, Lisa Millard, Becky Tims, Heather Spore, joe Scroggins 8: Company, Greg Smith, Clint Vernon, Pene Burns, Deanna Sims, Nelson Baird Sc Company, Victoria Barker, Kai Peterson, Heather Hester, Barry Yandell, Ronny Kent, Scott Ristau, Stuart Pritchett and Richie Batterton. - LEE ANN TOLIVER The Bird?l - No, it's Tribe doing a routine in the talent show. 20 Talent Show
