The newly formed Lees-McRae Pep Band began this year playing for the football games. This organization became much more impor- tant to the life of the college, however, as they began playing for many other occasions. Along with the drama and choir students, the band performed in the Performing Arts Christmas Show. Along with the choir and clogging students, the band went on a tour which of- fered shows at several high schools in the North Carolina area, and which ended with a trip to Six Hags Over Georgia. These students helped urge the basketball team along as they were present at most every game, and offered the choir support with their Christmas music which they played at several area churches. They are more than a pep band, for these students have always been available for any area where a band is needed. The Girls from Camp Caramel go through their routine, while Tim Upchurch does his routine in AT THE PARADISE. The Cloggers and Chorus performed, along with the newly organized Lees-McRae Pep Band.
