Holding Their Flags High Bi rerete nn Ae Be Eos ite ass se The Color Guard is a large part of the spirit and leadership that in- fluences Monacan stu- dents throughout the year. They participate in a number of events, such as the football and bas- ketball games at half- time, pep rallies, and pa- rades. They work hard to perfect their perfor- mances and represent Monacan to the best of their abilities. The girls began their practicing by attending band-front camp at Fer- rum College in June. They practiced five days a week after school until the end of the football season. Led by sponsor Mrs. Leubs, the eight members extended their talents outside of the school this past year. They travelled to North Carolina for the Cary Band Day, and there they captured third place with the band.

Twirling sai | Fy : Majorettes. Heather Patterson, Andrea Ashford, Leigh Ingram. Majorettes Talented. Dedicated, Hardworking. These are only a few words describ- ing the Monacan Major- ette Squad. The small, but fantastic squad, sponsored by Mrs. Leubs, consists of one ju- nior, Leigh Ingram, and two sophomores, Andrea Ashford, and Heather Patterson. With three years experience, Leigh is the captain of the squad. Heather has two years of experience, and Andrea has one. In being Majorettes, these girls bear a huge responsibil- ity of which few people Page 98 Majorettes . x es : % “% s are aware. They practice five days a week from two until five, in addi- tion to approximately four hours on Saturday and Sunday. A tremen- dous amount of time and effort is involved, but Leigh, Heather, and An- drea willingly do their part, and it shows in their great perfor- mances. The Majorette Squad performs during the football games, and in band competitions. Captain Leigh Ingram demonstrates her excellent skill in baton twirling. With Confidence

Spirit Of The Chiefs Tina Gropp Mee ys m ‘ : Sieh ; Cs a ea 4 + % - wey ¥ “ fae ae fw bE et EE Mate ge @ The Monacan marching band has always had plenty of music and spirit. This year was no exception. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Buck, the band added much to the football games last fall. They played their school- spirited music during half- time as they marched with the Monacettes and Major- ettes. This difficult task of marching and playing music at the same time was made to look easy by our marching band. The drum majors; Ralph Taylor, Leigh Willis, and Julie Devish; directed the large band of sixty-five mem- bers with excellence and ease. This impressive band did not confine their talents to our football field. They par- Marching Band ticipated in several activities outside the school. First, they competed at Thomas Dale high school against other bands. Their second competi- tion was at the Cary North Carolina Band Competition, where they won third place in the field show. The band also participated in the Williams- burg Christmas Parade, where they spread the festiv- ity of the season in spite of the warm weather. The demanding job of pre- paring for the fall season took a lot of hard work and dedica- tion. These talented musi- cians, along with the Major- ettes and the Monacettes, had an excellent year and their obvious dedication should be commended. Sahose . Marching Band.
