Striving for perfection The crowd patiently awaited as the Northeast Viking Band entered the field. The drum majors, Myra Miller, Ieff Hargrove, and Richard Taylor, per- formed their salute, and the band was ready to begin. The crowd cheered as the band showed the school's pride and spirit by executing their show. When asked what was thought of the band, Mary Smith, colorguard captain, replied, I think we've come a long way from last year, and I think we have pro- ved that we're an important part of the school. The band had a whole new perspec- tive with the new band director, Mr. Iohn Fulton. He felt that the band had done an incredible job and that the band program was one of the finest in Northeast history. Every Friday night, the show was basically the same, but new moves were added every so often. These new moves and the basic formations were practiced after school three days a week, Tammy Phillips felt the practices were hard and that the band got a lot done when everyone worked together. She also felt that it took stamina, concentration, and dedication to be in the marching band. The heartbeat of the band. Snaredrummers lim- my Miller, Mike Grove, Chris Flynn, and Kelly Stefani keep all eyes on the drum major to insure the band's togetherness. 104 MARCHING BAND Instruments sparkle as the marching band pa- tiently waits to enter the field for the half-time show.
