r V ' l ir . — ' tr l 4 -—=3 r NMLW - fri ‘ f Nisbova 1977 wasn ' t a lucky year for the Lake Central marching band. They placed 4th. The Nisbova rules were new for the Indians and there was no in¬ spection award or Sweepstake trophy. Trophies were given to places 1-5 and judges used a score sheet like the ones used at the state contests. Bad weather and the lack of a place to practice also contributed to the band ' s lower than usual 1st place showing. Mr. jordan was pleased with the band ' s performance. They marched well in spite of the rainy and cold weather. The band came down the field playing Entrance and Fanfare . They showed corp and dance skills to Come Rain or Come Shine then marched to Lover . From that they went into a corp number, If Ever I would Leave You . They ended the show with the medley of West Side Story , Somewhere , and Blues . Bands were judged in three cate¬ gories, marching and manuvering, music, and general effect. The auxiliary units such as majorettes and flags were also judged. Lake Central band performs intricate routines which captures for them an excellent rating. The show displayed styles of march and dance routines. Judges comments were favorable. They included Remark¬ able , A really fine band , and It ' s al¬ ways a pleasure to watch this band . From there they went on to compete in a State Band Contest at ISU where the marching Indians received 8th place. Although the band was not in the top five, their usual place, the crowd still showed their enthusiasm by loud cheer¬ ing and favorable comments. The cheer¬ ing was gratifying but the band enjoyed Mr. Jordan ' s approval even more. Community and student pride remain ever high as they anticipated their next chance to cheer the marching Indians. iiii : ■
