The band went back to rigorous prac- tices to get ready for the Murfeesboro Con- test of Champions in Tenn. Aside from the contest it was a weekend for fun. lt was easy to see that the members had grown into a huge family. Each section was its own little group within the larger one. They pushed for each other, gave each other support and help. Diane Bridwell commented, Each section tries to make theirs the best, and working that hard makes everyone very close. Many strange and interesting events went on at Murfeesboro, like early morning Tigger raids, wrapped rooms, all night games of Dungeons and Dragons, people being thrown in the pool, but they werejust small portions of the fun. Lafayette placed 5th at the contest. lt was a disappointment to all, but it was also served to help the band and individuals to grow and learn. As one senior remarked, 'Alt was hard on us, but it's the sophomores I feel sorry for. They don't know what it feels like to win, to be Champions. - , , .
