Active Season for M.B.H.S.’s Marching Band The Malta Bend Band Booster’s Club reached their ultimate goal this year and when the marching band hit the parade circuit in the fall, the members proudly displayed their new overlays. The white overlays, trimmed with black and gold, were not the only contribution the Band Booster’s made this year. Flashy, gold-sequined uniforms were purchased for the majorettes as they became Malta Bend’s own “Golden Girls.” For marching purposed a timpani was added to the drum section providing a new sound. Once again the community and chorale departments helped the Band out by presenting the Christmas Jubilee-donations went toward financial aid for the band. In early August the noise was evident again as the high school band hit the streets to warm up for the approaching season. Once again their first appearance was at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. During the next two months the band participated in the Slater Volkfest, the Concordia Fall Festival, and Marshall High School’s Homecoming Parade. Missouri University’s Homecoming Parade was the hardest and longest, but the fringe benefits of seeing the Tigers play in Big 8 action was worth the long march. Changing to concert pace the band played at the annual Fall concert for parents and friends. Instrumental ensembles and solos performed at Central Methodist College’s Musical Festival and at District Contest at Warrensburg. Hoping one day to join the high school band, junior high band members practiced throughout the year on rhythms, notes, and basic playing procedure. SIXTH GRADE BAND: ROW 1: Karla Carter, Jennifer Castle, Brenda Weaver, Mike Miller, Roy Thompson, Lisa Kloeppel. ROW 2: Tammy Persinger, Loretta Thames, Chris Diehl. STANDING: Steve Adcock, J.J. Goodman. Senior Majorettes (ABOVE LEFT) Laura Castle and Dianna Owens alternated the duties of head majorettes throughout the year. MAJORETTES: Brenda Gorrell, Michelle Harriman, Jacquelyn Carter, Laura Castle, Dianna Owens, Barbara Melies.
