Practice Makes Perfect “Get your horns in the middle, heals together, toes apart”... And so began another day of band practice. The band began their summer prac- tice on August first. Promptly at 8:00 students were poised and ready to be- gin another grueling season. During their four hour practice the band would practice marching in forma- tion, learn new songs, and review old songs. These practices for the band were not only for the half time shows but also for contests that the band participated in throughout the year Practicing four hours a day and five days a week did pay off, as our band earned all “1's” in competition. Mr. Weese agrees, “Summer band camp is a necessary part of preliminary marching band fundamentals.” A lull during practice gives the majorettes time to | Camisha Spruel practices a dance routine Band members practice marching in for- joke and catch up on the latest news to be used during the half time shows mation as drum major Steve Stone looks on STUDENT

Stand Up... “Rowdy, Rowdy that’s our style! Get up fans and cheer a while!”’ This cheer was per- formed at several of the pep ral- lies in order to instill spirit in the students as well as the Bull- dogs. During the pep rallies throughout the year the cheer- leaders performed several dance routines, and the band played portions of the halftime show. In addition, the 1988 Bulldogs were introduced to the students. A special pep rally was held the week of Home- coming. During this rally the senior players presented the cheerleaders with mums for their patience and support.
