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.

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.

Pep Club For only the second time in the history of Monacan, some boisterious students, with the guidance of Mrs. Sabo, formed the Pep Club this past year. As members of the Pep Club, these crazy and fun lov- ing people exhibited the true Chief spirit, leading Pep Ral- lies and stirring up the home crowd at various athletic events and by supporting Monacan’s honorary chiefs, Calvin Tutwiler during the football season, and Cabell Anderson during basketball season. The Pep Club did more than its share in making everyone proud of being a part of the Monacan “Chief Challenge” with such spirited individuals. The Pep Club, however, did not limit itself solely to the purpose of getting the home crowd rowdy and enthusias- tic. Little did people realize the great amount of effort the Pep Club put out in helping the cheerleaders construct the signs and banners used to lift team spirit, and last Christmas, the Pep Club sponsored the picture taking event with Santa Claus, his Snow Queen (Laurie Max- well), and Ice Princess (Amy Gauntt) as helpers. So the Pep Club did indeed have a great year and their unending spirit was greatly appreciated not only by the crowd, but by cheerleaders and athletes alike. With such spirited and rowdy individ- uals involved in the Pep Club, the “Chief Challenge”’ will continue to live on for the 1986 year. (above) During basketball games, you will find that spirit is created by the Pep Band. Pep Club.
