LC band visits Bears’ new den An invitation to again perform at a Chicago Bears’ game added another notch to the growing list of honors for the Marching Indians. November 14 was the date of the long- awaited performance at the Chicago Bear-Washington Redskin game in Soldier Field. Nervous excitement prevailed as the band stepped off in front of a crowd of 52,000 roaring Bear fans. A new entrance was used this year in the pre-game and half-time shows. It had a unique drum cadence, using four dif¬ ferent pitches of drums. “Joshua”, “Cornin’ Home Baby”, “Motherless Child” and “With a Little More Lovin’ ” were some of the highlights of the shows. The majorettes seem to stretch endlessly below the towers of Soldier Field as they wait for the National Anthem. While playing the jazzy ‘ ' You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”, the band moves into the medical signs for man and woman. As a Chicago Bear, Bobby Douglass does his pre-game warm-ups, the LC Band employs their new entrance onto the field. 21

Concentrating on not moving a muscle, Carol Nagy anxiously awaits the end of inspection and beginning of the ten minute performance. A last minute check of the ranks is made by drum major Linda Buwa before the band steps off to the 1971 N1SBOVA snow. 20 ' Love’ theme is NISBOVA show Despite hard work and long hours of practice, the LC Marching Band bowed out as reigning NISBOVA champions. Tears of disappointment ran silently down the faces of the band members as they congratulated the Marion Band on their victory. The curse of Ft. Wayne prevailed as the last time the contest was held at North Side, the LC Band failed to bring home the prized trophy. Among the songs selected for the “Love” theme were “Al¬ most Like Being In Love”, “Love For Sale”, “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You” and an original composition by Mr. Jordan “With a Little More Lovin’ ”. The eerie strains of the flutes drifted across the hushed stadium as the rest of the band joined in “Motherless Child”. “Love is a Many Splendored Thing” ended the 1971 NISBOVA performance. As Mr. Jordan paces the sidelines, the judge begins his inspection for the sligh¬ test wrinkle or smallest smudge on a white shoe.

A little perturbed at his wife (Mel Davis), Walter Hollander (Ed Vidimos) voices his objections to her vacation plans. Drobney helps tourists escape The Annual LC Theater Guild’s fall production was the Woody Allen comedy “Don’t Drink the Water’’. Each per¬ formance went on stage before a full house on all four nights. Cast selections and rehearsals began soon after school started in early September. The plot centers around a tourist family from New Jersey, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hollander and their daughter Susan. They are seeking asylum in the U.S. Embassy of a small foreign coun¬ try behind the Iron Curtain. A comical escape takes place as the family attempts to go back to their home town with the aid of Father Drobney who offers various escape plans. The rehearsals and performances took on the air of a profes¬ sional production because of the potential of the cast members. Thoughts of “think character’’ were drilled into the minds of the actors and actresses by directors Paul and Angie Lowe as opening night drew near. Student director, JoAnn Zatorski, was always on hand to correct a mistake in a line or cue some¬ one when they were to enter on stage for their scenes. Rhona Justice and Kim Hoffman, portraying Susan Hollander and Axel Magee, were tne leads in this year’s LCTG comedy. 22
