FOP RIGHT: During a half-time show, junior Stefany VanScoyk lifts her banner as the team performs to She Blinded Me With Science. Flag, pom pon teams promote Grizzly pride Promoting school pride and spirit were the chief responsibilities of the Northwest Hon- ey Bears and Banner Bears. Both groups performed for audiences at home athletic contests, parades and local activities. The Honey Bears excited the crowds at home football and basketball games with their performances. Their routines showed offthe girls' ability to kick high an manuever difficult stunts. These routines were per- formed to songs like Owner ofa Lonely Heart. Electric Kmgdom, Cosmic Glide. Beat Ir, 1999 and many more. The 26-member team practiced daily dur- ing 7th hour and often came early to perfect routines. The Honey Bears worked closely with the Marching Band during the home football games in coordinating the music and moves. At the summer workshop at Emporia State, the Northwest Honey Bears won the Sweepstakes Trophy and numerous indivi- dualk ribbons by the whole group. Dancing to music and entertaining the crowd was not the only contribution the Honey Bears made to Northwest, They really supported their teams. -Tonya NX'ells BANNER BEARS The Northwest Banner Bears performed during the home football games and pep assemblies with the Marching Band. The 10- member squad performed to tunes such as Land of 1,000 Dances, Centertolci We Got the Beat and She Blmded Me With Science. Instead of attending a summer camp at another location, the Banner Bears invited the flag squad captain from the University of Oklahoma to come and teach new routines to the Northwest squad. During this special clinic, the Banner Bears learned new ways to perform with their flags. Although Banner Bears practiced daily during 7th hour, additional hours were re- quired in preparation for performances. Hours were spent before and after school as well as at home in extra practice sessions. The Banner Bears performed with the Marching Band at a local industry conven- tion an at the Wichita Airport for the grand opening ofthe new air traffic control towers. -Chris Vanliurkleo
