The Panther band started off the year with a week-long band camp at Rim Rock Ranch in Wimberly Texas. They learned new music, brushed up on marching maneuvers, and worked on the first half time show. In addition, a new assistant director, Mr. Skip Skinner, took over the responsibilities of Mr. Kenneth Ersch. The band was under the field direction of Joel Hughes the Drum Major, and the twirl- ers were Malynn Garner and Diana Saathoff. The practice and hard work didiTt end with band camp. The band met every Monday night during marching season to work on that week’s halftime show. The band played a valuable part in keeping the school spirit up. The pep rallies just wouldp7? have been the same with- out the traditional panther stomp. The band chose their senior favorites Kim George and Allen Jensen. The band participated in the eighth annual Buccaneer Marching Festival held at Blinn Col- lege. This gave the band criticism and another chance to perform before the U.I.L. marching contest. The Panther band played hosts for the Region XVIII class A, AA, AAA marching con- test. The band received a 2nd division on their performance. The last performance for 1982-83 was given in front television cameras. The P.H.S. band had been chosen to do a commercial for Lack’s furniture store. It was a new and different ex- perience, one that soon won’t be forgotten. In December, two band members competed in District band try-outs. Pflugerville brought thir- teen district patches and honored seven band members to play in the All-Region band con- cert in January. The concert was held on the campus of S.W.T. University in San Marcus. Concert season brought the band two contests. In the Invitational Pflugerville Band Pfest which the band received a 2nd division in concert and a 1st division in sight reading. In the other concert contest, the band received two 2nd divisions. The band wishes to thank the seniors for all their hard work and support. You will be missed. Sharon Besaw
