The make their mark on spirit Football season was a busy time of year for the Blue Brigade and Lairds. The dedication of these two groups was displayed throughout the school year. With the alarm clock striking its high note at 6:30 a.m., Blue Brigaders pulled their bodies out of bed to be at school for 7:30 practice. This early practice was necessary for the drill team to prepare their routines for the upcoming game. Iazz, pom pom, and high kicks were the three types of routines they performed. Blue Brigaders spent three weeks out of the summer at camp learning the routines for the games. During the season, they revised and perfected the dances. The girls also danced at basketball games, which required more 7:30 practices. Locker decorations were also another obligation that the dancers had to live up to. Each girl was responsible for a football player's locker. They had to design a decoration for each game, make the decoration, then put it up after school two days before the game. Dancing was not the only duty of the Blue Brigade. An annual event sponsored by them was the Beauty Revue. This was a major fundraiser for the drill team. Assisting the Blue Brigade and the cheerleaders was the main task of the Lairds. The Lairds held up the run through signs as well as the cheerleaders at football games. They also extended their effort to help set up the pep rallies. SENIOR julie Ware keeps out the cold by wrapping herself up at the Crockett game.
