Neuenschwander. l ln the fall, marching practice occupied a good hour and a half of each afternoon. The hot pavement by the fieldhouse or the church parking lot became the new habitat of the halftime performers. Traditionally, during some relatively important occasion such as the Westchester football game or the band banquet, a Band Sweetheart is always presented with a bouquet of red roses. Nominated from among the senior girls, the Band Sweetheart was Sandy Hay. Whether from the bottom or the top of the scale the ultimate goal of most band members was to gain symphonic status. Grueling marching practices on hot summer days, new friends and the accompanying parties all contributed to the spirit of camaraderie which made the band, as jackie Vine described, a closely knit group. Beginning the year with their annual magazine sales, the band sold 56,000 worth which more than met their goal. BAND -35

Musicians evince dexterit Concerts and contests also had to be prepared for. When the marching season was over, Ken Pruett said that most of our time was then spent being lectured on how to become better musicians. Beverly Talbert felt that the practices were 'considerably longer and more serious than they had been. Amidst all the work, the band also found time to play. The band's own comic newsletter, The Badnote, continually poked fun and provided entertainment for the spring banquet with the Badnote Awards of Merit. Three band twirlers are chosen each year by the director. Although they usually go to a practice camp, this year's group of Beth Fry, Brooke Robbins and lan Lillis worked with a teacher over the summer. This was the last year that the band planned to have twirlers. As the hardwork drew to a close, the symphonic and senior band members were 1 1 rewarded with a spring tour of Six Flags. Nancy Shallo seems to enjoy the first game of the season.
