Rise and shine band members “If only we didn’t start so early every morning, I would enjoy band even more,” remarked freshman Ann Annis. Her sentiments were echoed by other band members who were tired of the early morning band prac- tices that started in August and didn’t end until November when marching season was over. Band members were proud of the results of their long practice, howev- er. The “Pride” competed in the Pa- rade of Champions in Las Cruces, New Mexico, placing second in their class of seven bands. They also com- peted in the Eastern Arizona College competition where the band received a “superior” rating. In late September, plans called for the band to march in the Greenlee County Fair parade. Immediately fol- lowing the parade, the group was to travel to Thatcher to perform at the football game between Thatcher and Morenci. Although the band made the trip to both places, rain prevented them from actually marching or even playing. “The trip was very disap- pointing to us,” claimed majorette Kim Waldorf. “We had really looked forward to performing after all the long practices,” added Dianne Hart- ley. “It seemed like all our time had been for nothing.” 28-Sophomores “Prlde” Band

Using brooms and 20 gallons of paint, the freshmen attempted to cov- er the 50’ by 50’ block letter made out of boulders with its first coat of white paint. “We thought it was going to take forever,” admitted Ginny Kelso, “but we did it in only an hour. We had to stop after that because we ran out of paint.” While waiting for their early lunch of hot dogs and chips provided by student council members, faculty member John Lechtenberger led the frosh in a rousing rendition of “Boom Hey.” “I learned the activity at a state student council convention I at- tended,” explained Mr. Lechten- berger. “The students are divided into two groups and each group tries to outyell the other group when the leader signals. The kids get a big kick out of it because they never know when they’re supposed to yell.” Ac- cording to Melody Brannon, “the best part was watching Mr. Lechten- berger’s enthusiastic motions as he di- rected us.” Taking only three nights to com- plete, the freshman class entry in the float competition at homecoming won second place. “We worked up to the last minute the night of the game,” admitted Natalie Boling, “but we got it done.” 30-Freshmen
