Extras spur excitement Pep rallies and out of town trips involve additional people and time Walking down the halls at 9:30 Friday mornings students could hear loud and booming noises. Students packed into the gym discovering the sound was the band. Under the direction of Iohn Bohls, the band sounded better and louder. Generating excitement. drummers performed in the gym before pep rallies started. The RLT pep rally was scheduled for sixth period instead of first. By doing this, the players carried the enthusiasm from the pep rally to the game. Pep rallies became new and different. Cheerleaders, drill team, band members and even the students showed more pep and enthusiasm than the year before. New routines, ideas and uniforms attributed to the morning events. Students showed spirit to encourage a Trojan win. Classes battled over the spirit stick. Winning the spirit stick was a big accomplishment for the juniors. Each class seemed to have more pep at the pep rallies. Out of town games came with mixed feelings. For the band. it meant a long ride sitting on top of hat boxes, instruments and usually someone else. To top it all off- they had to wear their uniforms which caused some band members to pass out from the heat. Football players were enthusiastic over the night's game. Pep talks from the coaches gave them the courage to win. During the bus rides, Troyanns ate, slept, sang and even told scary stories. Pep rallies and out of town trips made it possible for everyone to contribute to the game and sometimes provided as much entertainment as the game itself.
