Change was the theme for the OHS Band's 1972 marching season. The actual size of the band was lessened considerably with the departure of thirty-three experienced seniors and the arrival of a mere eleven members of the class of 1976. For the first time in four years, the band was under new direction. Mr. Neal Bachman led the band through their music and drills and trials and tribulations. Although changes were in the air, soggy early morning practices , memorizing music, and struggling through new steps and routines remained the main diet for OHS marching band students. The first test came for the sixty-nine member band on October 7 at Harvest of Harmony in Grand Islandv Led by Head Majorette Kathy Thayer and three new twirlers, Denise Dunn, Margie Lux, and Ca-rita Peterson, the band highstepped it in the morning parade. Directly ahead of the band rode the Osceola Harvest of Harmony Queen candidate, Mary Cerny. Mary ably represented OHS and finished fourth out of a field of forty contestants. To the strains of Make Me Smile , the band formed a smiling face to highlight their afternoon performance. However, not all faces were smiling when Osceola received an excellent or 2 rating. A completely new routine was developed during the next few weeks. Along with the new routine, a new confidence went with the band to the Pershing Marching Contest. The ten minute show seemed to be over in a matter of seconds, but the time seemed to be endless until Osceola's 1 was finally announced. This was the second year in a row in which OHS received an unqualified 1, which is a 1 from all three judges. The marching season was climaxed that night with a party at King's. Mr. Bachman announced his selections for Best Boy and Girl Marcher, seniors Duane Oquist and Jackie Smith. Thus a successful marching season ended on a happy note. Precious Time BAND COUNCIL BACK ROW: Ron Jones, Mitch Coffin, Dave Watts, Duane Oquist. FRONT ROW: Irene Davis, Carita Peterson, Ann Cerny, Jackie Smith.
