For the third consecutive year, Lake Central’s Marching Band and the Cen- tralettes have attained the title of Sweep- stakes Winner at the annual NISBOVA state contest at Fort Wayne. This award is presented each year to the best band at the contest. The “Time Machine” was the theme of this year’s first place program. Marching on to the field with the triumphant strains of “Chant and Jubilo,” th e band pro¬ ceeded to take a trip into the past and future, highlighting the trip with the familiar tune, “The Stripper.” Awards not only came to the band, but to Lake Central’s drum major also. Jun¬ ior Rick Simms was named the finest drum major in Indiana. Lake Central’s band not only marches, but gives concerts, plays at school assem¬ blies, football and basketball games, and marches in various Calumet Region pa¬ rades. These activities keep the band more than busy throughout the year. 26

Practice marks perfect precision in every program Practice is a familiar word to each and every band mem¬ ber and Centralette. Early in August each year the Lake Central Marching Band and the Centralettes begin their practice. Even before the new school year begins different routines are already in fine shape. Besides one hour of practice first hour each day, Centralettes can often be found after practicing and making up original routines. Practice definitely marks precision in every performance of Lake Central ' s Band and the Centralettes. The LCHS hand won an array of trophies this year; the most treasured being the NtBOVA Sweepstakes trophy. Leading the band on to victory this year were Terry Wilkerson, asst drum major, and Rick Simms, head drum major. JM Doris Meyers, Phyllis Grit ton. Taffy Cast, Bob Kapelski, and Darrel Miller can be found practicing in the band room during their study hall. Junior John Panzer carries his bass drum back to the band room after a pep band performance at a basket¬ ball game. 28
