“Getting used to early band practices was my biggest adjust- ment,” commented a new mem- i ber of the pom-pom squad. Over the entire summer, both the pom-pom girls and majorettes practiced at the individual’s house. Making up routines, vot- ing on new uniforms, and getting the new, inexperienced girls accustomed to ideas, were all part of these practices. At the arrival of the first performance, most of the girls faced it with nervous feelings, but still much confidence. Both squads participated in all of the halftime shows and parades that the band did. They performed at some of the con- certs, if not they sometimes ushered and sold tickets. Pep rallied were also on their agenda. “Our biggest problem was finding and making up routines needed for the songs,” stated Cathy Lilly. While Karen Bryant thought that the majorettes big- gest obstacle was the different ideas of the members. Over-looking this both squads showed in their performances that practices along with hard work, talent and patience pays off in performing as a strong, good-looking group.
