Beginning their practice on July 30th while other NHS students were sleeping in and tanning themselves in the sun, students were hard at work learning steps and manuevers for their marching routines. The four and a half hours of practice each day paid off many times through trophies and acknowledge- ments. Drum majors Bethany Gertner and Lorie Evans won grand champion trophies. The flags also received out- standing guard at the marching auxilia- ries of America. Flag captains consisted of Jean Chang, Jean Clark, Sue Cramer and Lana Marxen. The band placed third in the Maquoketa Octoberfest in both parade and field competition. But the bands biggest accomplishment was being invited to the 1987 Gator Bowlg they won this by audition only. Considering the band has only been together for one short year much has been accomplished and according to Tim Erickson he stated I believe the band was good figuring it was its first year. But a lot of work is going to have to be done for us to rated the best or one of the best at state competitionf' Band! Flag Corps

Semlow 4 C5 Cie Finetuning: string along It is a very rare opportunity to be in the beginning of something: meeting the challenge of helping something growf' expressed orchestra director Kerry Goodwin. The unique part about our orchestra was that its size of eight string members had a way of accomplishing many big tasks. One accomplishment was sending two members to All-State - Jill Leggett and Kristi Spindler whom were both sophomores. The orchestra also played at the open house dedication for North which added to their list along with a Orchestra solofensemble festival in March. Due to its smaller size they felt they had many advantages over other orches- tras. Besides being much more mobile than other orchestras, they worked on literature other orchestras couldn't use. The major fault of the size was the loss in the fuller sound that larger orchestras are able to produce. Thinking of orchestra you probably wouldn't relate to pizza and pop but at NHS you could. After reading through their music they enjoyed themselves while eating pizza and sipping pop on a few occasions. This being a new school and having a new direction was really quite exciting. Because we were so small Mr. Goodwin was able to work with us on more of a one-to-one basis and our size allowed us to perform at many social events. I'm really glad to have been part of it, expressed Jill Leggett.
