1- Working hard and having fun are both important to freshman Joy Pearce, a member of Color Guard. 2. Sopho- more James Palidino shows both pride in the band and determination to do well for the band, which is part of what makes the band important. 3. The Homecoming pep rally was a windy one but a fun one for juniors Shannon Raider, Steven Dean, and Dan Poole who like to get the spirit flowing in the rest of the students. 4. Junior Dan Poole entertains the crowds during one of the many half- time shows, this one was entitled The Manilow Show and the drum break was ' Copacabana. 5. Junior Tonya Tiner concentrates on every aspect of her performance to show everyone how fun guard really is. o. Freshman Christy Johnson, senior Misty Johnson, and junior Mandy Porter wait patiently, but acutely for the signal to go on the field for their performance. 7. Performing is not the only responsibility at football games. The band is also responsible for acting as 'back-up cheerleaders' when the crowd needs picking up. 8. An important part of one of the performances was senior Cheryl Timmerman's trum- pet solo. The other band members accented this solo by taking a bow.

The vitality and excitement exhibited by the band this year was due to a number of reasons. The directors, Verda Herring- ton and Lynne Smith, spent long hours planning and choreographing shows and rehearsing with the band. That work proved to be successful. The Panther band went to the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Marching Contest at Luling on October 26,1985, when they received a I on a I-II1 rating scale, the I denoting excellence. The hard work of the students was what took the band as far as they went. They showed determination and drive to learn each show and even worked outside of rehearsal time on any certain part of the show they might have had trouble with. Each student knew what it felt like to be number one. That drive and determination showed in every pep rally, half-time show or con- cert they performed. They even marched in the Sesquicentennial Parade with hun- dreds of other bands, including the Uni- versity of Texas' band. Afterwards, there was a Happy Birthday Ceremony where all the bands got together to play Happy Birthday for the state of Texas. The members of the Panther band cared about one another and about the band it- self. That kind of dedication is what made them the best in all they did. Most of the credit for the band's success goes to the two directors, Verda Herring- ton and Lynn Smith. Thanks to their dedi- cation, Pflugerville High School Panther band was number one!! —24 Band—
