High performance Hot! That was the first word which came to mind when thinking of the stage band. With new band director Mr. Iohn Fulton, the stage band was off to a good start. He worked on perfecting in- dividual parts as well as putting together the whole song. After marching season was over, all band members retired their uniforms and prepared music for upcoming con- cert and jazz competitions. What became of the colorguard? They formed the Winter Guard, which was composed of a small group of rifles and flags.

After weeks of practicing, the Winter Guard went to different colorguard competitions. Both the stage band and the Winter Guard competed in the Florida Band- masters Association district competition. If they received a superior rating, they went on to the tougher state competition. Practice makes perfect! The stage band rehearses every day to perfect their style. Their attention must be given even when not playing. Basis of the stage band at the winter concert, Mark Skey and Lisa Scannell form the foundation of the song which they play.
