During the summer, the pom-pon, flag, and rifle squads all went to summer camps. uCamp was like a prison, but it was fun and Fd do it again, said Golden Girl Janice Bush. During the marching season, the Golden Girls received the best Pom-Pon Line at the contest show in Aurora.

Scaling to the Top Entertaining everyone was the main goal of the choir, orchestra, and con- cert band. Numerous concerts and assemblies were performed throughout the year in- cluding the Christmas Con- cert in December presented by the choir, and a concert given by the band and or- chestra in February. The hard work and determination proved well worth the effort. Orchestra members, Brian Hickman and Lynette Mclntosh were selected to be in the All- State Orchestra. Drum Ma- jor Bill Palen was also selected to be in the All- State Band. Choir members Becky Goodin and Shelley Freeman were selected for the All-State Choir. Sixteen choir members were also selected to the All-District Choir, 16 is the highest number of entries that can be accepted. Usually busy during the year with concerts, school plays and assemblies. One of the major projects for the orchestra was the fall musical, uCarousel. The major project for the choir was the Southwest Missouri State University Ensemble Evaluation Festival. After the busy fall season, the students began learning music for the an- nual spring music festival in hopes of taking top honors. During the spring, the band, orchestra, and choir prepared along with elementary and junior high students for the Mass Music Festival held at Kickapoo. Perfect posture and concentration, ad- ded to relaxation, make it possible to perform, stated Sharon Lewis. d GGl....5.
