 CUtcC Teamwork Brings (As Together Even with the concentration put into a Friday night show. Dan Poole. Roland Adams, and Todd Cole found something to smile about. “This year was the first time in five or six years. We put a lot of hard work into what we’ve done and it paid off with the band going to state.” — Todd Cole 24 BAND ULLCJ-l With the addition of two new band directors, the Panther band surged to the top. Ms. Verda Herrington, head band director, and Ms. Lynn Smith, assistant band director, pulled the band out of its rut. The loss of pride the band had experienced from last year’s traumas, two's and three’s in both marching and concerts at the (J.I.L. con- tests, was the first thing the band directors reestablished. The Pflugerville band learned what the real meaning of being a winner meant. It meant hard work and pride in everything you did. To be the best you had to work. Work is what they did. Practice at eight every morning — rain or shine — and Monday nights at 6:30 to 9:00. They worked to prepare a dif- ferent show or to perfect a contest show for every football game. The hard work paid off when they earned straight ones at the CJ.I.L. con- test. That was a happy moment. The Panther band had some sad moments, too. One of the saddest was when Beckie Bunch died in a car accident. Her death was when the band learned the real meaning of unity. At her death the band became one. Even through the pain and tears the band kept trying. Unity and pride were there to stay.
