When Mr. Pruett started swinging that baton, feet automatically started tapping and hands started clapping. It was enthusiasm at its finest and it was contagious. That beat lifted the foulest mood and practically controlled the crowd. Other than the band members themselves and their parents, few people realized the long grueling hours spent practicing to make their routines appear so easy to perform. Besides a two-week headstart on the rest of the school, band people started every morning at seven, rain or shine, heat or sleet. Tried playing a clarinet lately with frostbitten fingers? Sure they got discouraged, but they didn't let that stop them. They knew if they kept working as a team, it would be worth the effort. And was the Racer Band appreciated? You bet!!! - ■ One more time ... another one more time!!! Imagine the pep assemblies without the band? the football games without the band? Mr. Pruett without the band? No way!! The Band Officers provided leadership within the band. They also provided a little fun. They are pictured at the left. ROW 1: T. Minnis, M. Walck. J. Pruett, L. Smith, J. Stultz. ROW 2: S.
