Band, Jazzettes, Chorus, Drama, Jazz Rock practice hard to become true PERFORMERS “Break a leg! ’ has an almost magical meaning to several groups on campus. This is the traditional good luck slogan for performers. The most well-known organization in the performing group is the Marching Raider Band. Composed of about 100 members, the band showed growth and improvement under the continued fine leader- ship of Mr. William Ritter, director of bands. The band The Jazzettes wait for halftime to do their performance. Mrs. Floyd accompanies the chorus during class rehearsal 154 Performers performed halftime shows for the football games and marched in a number of parades in Macon, Ft. Valley, and Savannah; they also gave a Christmas concert. The highlight of the year, however, was receiving the honor of opening the political rally for President Ronald Reagan in a campaign stop in Macon before the November election. (Continued on p. 156) The woodwinds of the concert band perform their best for the Christmas program.

PERFORMERS (continued from p. 154) The Jazzettes, larger in number and with more ex: perience under their belt, really seemed an integral part of the halftime band performances this year. Dance routines were performed with polished preci- sion and even with finesse, as in the number in which they released the helium balloons. Buoyed by the addition of the ninth graders, the North- east Chorus had strength in numbers this year. They per- formed in the Christmas con cert and competed in several festivals. They also performed at elementary schools during Black History Month. The Jazz Rock ensemble, Northeast’s own version of “Fame, performed at elemen- tary schools during Black History Month. The ‘‘newest kids on the block in the performing group were the drama club students who performed a radio drama, a one-act play and several oral interpretations and extem- poraneous speeches in competition. The band practices hard during their sixth period band class. The Jazzettes perfect their numbers after school for the next performance
