proved by some long and emo- tional meetings with Mr. Pay- ton and the band officers. Nevertheless, when in need of a tune-up - the machine got it. Hair up, shoulders in, chest out! Afterwards, we spark along as good as new ! So what does this all mean?

’’Tweet, tweet, tweet-bibty, bobity , Boom ! ’ ' Who else could this be but the energetic Big Red Band? Energetic? You ' d have to be, to rush outside in the rain, snow and sleet just to freeze at attention while prac- ticing for the football game the next night. In the end, the band would always be on the field, bringing out the pride in every Big Red ' s soul! We finally made it through the football season to our last game of the year, honoring the man out front, senior Allan Cairns. After A1 finally got the band together, we introduced the original Class of ' 75 Magic Box. Needless to say, greater miracles have never been done ! As a finale, all the seniors sadly (?) marched out of a school house to a swingtime Pomp and Circumstance. Taking pan in this activity were the Thunder- birds, the Tomahawks, the Dis- play Flags, the Majorettes and the Color Guard. These are the colorful groups that you see marching with the band and performing to the several dif- ferent songs the band plays . Even though football season is finally over, there is no such thing as a rest for THIS band! There they were , strutting down Woodward Avenue, leading the Hudson ' s Day Parade on Thanksgiving morning, a mere two weeks later! Who knew what would happen next? Band- tastic, of course, then Christ- mas caroling, the Spring Con- cert, and then . . . They’re always looking forward to new and better things ! It takes a lot of hard work to create a machine this great and indestructible, which was Marching Machine Has Pride, Spirit Color, Spark MAJORETTES - KNEELING - Sandy Stockwell.
