GO, VIKS GO! Being a part of the Marching Band takes a lot of time and dedica- tion. The Marching Band takes a lot of practicing to get the routines per- formed correctly. Drum Major Mike Mur- ray led 73 members that made up the Marching Band. It takes a lot ol time and work to keep the band members in or- der. Murray had to attend a special camp in order to become the drum ma- jor. Me spent one week in Corvallis at the Oregon State University campus learning the correct way to keep a marching band in lime. There were about 100 other people there. It was a lot of fun but it also was hard work.' explained Murray. The band played at many extra events which in- cluded the Snowflake Festival and the Potato Festival in Merrill. They also played at City Hall for Christmas. The band played at every home football game. A new addition to the Marching Band was the tall flag team. Seven girls made up the tall flag team and along with the short flag team, they completed the routine. Playing the fight song during a pep assembly is the Marching Band. They helped to raise the spirits of the student body. Tall Plags Pront: Sonia April Strunk, Cassy Tammy Harrison, Advi- Ramirez, Karen Day, Smith, Shawnda Laver, sor-Cathy Kerr. Shelly Carpenter.
