Seven different girls, seven different opinions, made this year's Freshman cheerleading squad come. . . Together as One As the year began a new group of cheerleaders came together to make up the Freshman cheerleading squad. At first it was difficult for them to work together, but eventually they learned to compromise and made it a successful year. Because each of the cheerleaders came from a different school, and they all had different pesonalities and their opinions of how things Christine Dillon listens to what Dione Green has to say about the game. f Togetheras One 1 l l should operate was different. As Lorreine Pasqual said, At first it was hard for us to work together . . . but eventually we learned to compromise, so everything worked. Since many of these peo- ple will be working together next year as JV cheerleaders, it is good that they can now work together as it will make next year successful also. - lon Hart loAnna Legarda cheers on the of- fense to a touchdown. r Stacy Bagwell watches the game in- between cheers.

The Sound of Music As the 75 uniformed black, white, and orange clad musi- cians took the field, armed only with their instruments and amazing spirit, they thirll- ed the crowd with such songs as Musical Instruments, Lil' Darlin, and Big Spender. Not only did the band receive 100 new uniforms from the school district, it also obtained a new drum major, Sherri Leone, and co- teacher, Mr. Oldham. They also bought, with the help of the band boosters, two suzaphones, two silver bell front baritones, and two bell instruments. 'flt was a very good year, we got to experiment a lot with new ideas, stated the band's director, Mr. Orrin Cross Ill. A few of the ideas the band experimented with was the first ever Walnut Parade that took place at night. With the help of the band boosters they created a lightshow with smoke and a set, which the band came crashing through to make their performance rate the King Walnut Award for the Best all around perfor- mances. The band also. entered the Antioch Band Review and took home the third place trophy. Besides these appearances, the band also performed in the Annual Christmas Parade and the Sacramento Field Competition. Close-up the band's new uniforms looked pretty much the same as the old ones, but . .. from the stands the crowd can really see the 'flash effect,' said Mr. Cross. The 'flash effect' being from the brillant white material on the front of the uniform and the flourescent orange material on the back. Mr. Oldham, this year's new choral teacher, con- tributed tothe band by being the assistant teacher. This in- volved him in directing the music, writing, field shows, administrating discipline, conducting sectionals, and basically everything else but taking roll. With a band you get a dif- ferent power than with chorus. It's easier to get them to play louder or softer than it is to make a chorus sing louder or softer, Mr. Oldham commented. - Merideth Fike K Sheila Davies smiles widely after we score a touchdown. 1 1 The Sound oflvlusic
