B Mountain View Spirit Makers The trombone section blows t'or all their worth, upporting the basketball team and promoting spirit and enthusiasm at the home ball games was the chief task of Pep Band. The band also played at many of the spirit assemblies. lt was great fun to show our spirit at the games and get all the fans and players all pumped up and ready to go, said one Pep Band member, The group was made up of members from the Symphonic Band who wanted to play, and a few select members of the Concert Band. These musicians were then split into two smaller bands, called the red band and the black band. These two groups would alternate playing between the home ball games. Each Pep Bander had a shirt sporting the saying, lt ainlt a free country if a Cat can't blow what he pleasesf' This motto was followed almost religiously by performing such music as Popeye's Song , l'McDonald's Theme , Ease on Down the Roadl' and even our own school song, The Notre Dame Fight Song . swf' at ' T 'iii - v E ,' Front, left: Mark Fullerton, Margaret Shepard, Sandy Brothers, Suzy Ellis, Chris Foreman, Barbara Morrow.

G B Two Months Of Practice Pays Off he applause and cheers from students and parents after halftime at the football games made Marching Band director, Mr. Barber, a very happy man. Every day that school was in session, through rain, wind, sleet and snow, the Marching Band could be heard drilling on the south side of the school during lunch hour. A lot of dedication was put into the Marching Band this year. Drum major Andy Hickman gave all he had during rehearsals and final performances. One band member was quoted saying, We owe it all to Mr. Barber, Andy too without him, I don't think we would have been as good as we were. The Marching Band gave a show during halftime when Mountain View had home games. They would get into four small circles and then grow and intertwine around each other. When the queen was being crowned at the Homecoming game, the band made a shape of a heart and played Just the Way You Are . The Marching Band also played in the Downtowners' Christmas Parade and overwhelmed the community with their professional performance. The dance team marched along with them holding Mountain View flags and strutting their stuff. Twice while marching, the band broke ranks and ran to the crowded sidwalks to shake hands with the spectators and then reformed their lines. Mr. Barber took the band out on city streets to practise for the parade. Knowing what they had to work with in the way of streets and corners made marching a lot easier. The band patiently waits for the parade to begin Drum Major Andy Hickman does his stuff at halftime Russ Morgan attempts to play, march, and keep warm all at the same time.
