We went through two to four hour clinics at the end of march- ing season, senior Cheri Stout said. We learned dance, body movements and flag work. Rigorous practices and cre- ative routines enabled the Win- ter Guard to place extremely well in several competitions. Taking second at Tulsa Hale and first at the Tulsa Union, Moore and state tournaments allowed the Guard to travel to Denver, Colo. for regionals where they placed third. The Guard continued on to Dayton, Ohio for nationals and brought back eighteenth place out of 47. As a new activity, Winter Guard required extra creativity and practice. Those who parti- cipated believed the sacrifice well worth the work. Flags has been an important part of my life ever since the ninth grade, senior Dawn Beauregard said. When I found out we had the chance to do routines to modern 'radio' music, I was excited. I sacrificed my energies and my time because I loved it with all my heart. jazz band also mandated a special skill, a feel for the music. azz time. After a Hard Day's Night, junior Trisha Newcomb takes time out to relax with jazz. At Southwestern they earned two I's and a II. At Oklahoma State University the band brought back straight I's. The state finals held at Central State University allowed the band to display their competence and achieve straight II's. Playing in jazz band gave those musicians an added musi- cal perspective. I'm in band, honestly, because it gives me an edge over those who are not in jazz band, junior Chris Olson said. Often jazz gave those who played it an entirely different attitude about music. People are in jazz band because they want more out of music, senior Mike Landis said. ln jazz, emotion is in- volved, people in jazz are the best musicians around. Both Winter Guard and jazz band required an added amount of specialized talent. These two activities allowed participants to showcase special talents. E Follow the leader.
