With precision, skill, and harmony, the Northwest Marching Band with Director Darrel Horton stepped to several awards and distinctions. Beginning at the end of school, the music department offered a half-credit band course in summer school, the course not only taught the basics of band marching, but also served as a testing ground for formations and rou- tines. Several Silverettes and feature twirlers Shirley Cash, senior, and Sherrie Williamson, junior, attended a week-long summer workshops at Vincennes University, while maiorette Karon Lawrence, sophomore, partici- pated in the Smith-Walbridge Drum Maior Camp. Sum- mer work was climaxed by two weeks of concentration practice in the August heat in preparation for the North- west Jamboree, August 28. An attraction at all home football games was the half-time show provided by the marching band, Silve- rettes, and feature twirlers. The ensemble treated foot- ball fans to programs like the one that gained them their fourth consecutive first division rating in the advanced Group I at the State Marching Contest at Southport High School, October 9. Veteran's Day Parade specta- tors also had an opportunity to watch the band in action as they marched in the October 25 event downtown. Band uniforms, purchased in Spring, 1970, were still being paid off with receipts from the band's annual candy sale in October. Members sold the familiar chocolate-almond bars to neighbors and students for 50 cents. A S300 gift certificate from Nick Craig Studios went to senior Steve Clear for selling the most candy. lol With their performance completed, band members Melanie Leet, sophomore, Deborah Baker, Frank Spikes, and Chris Gal- loway, seniors await the judge decision and . . . tbl . . . rejoice at the news of their first division rating. ici Silverettes and Maiorette Karon Lawrence show the fruits of many hours of practice with a precise routine at the State Marching Contest. idi As their instruments blast out contemporary melodies, North- west marchers close ranks at the end ofa football halftime show. Kei Waiting to take the field at the State Marching Contest, Silve- rettesnervously watch the competition.
