IQ: Ill! FIU .fv:M,,, MW' .I Mild 'Kat Band goes far with awards By lay Arenz and Mike Hanagan Impressive is the word used by Wayne Bra- shear, band director to describe the RUHS Sea hawk Marching Band. The band has won more awards this year than the band has won in any past year. The marching units which include, tall flags, drill team and shields have walked off with no less than eleven awards. I was surprised at first but began to see a strong desire to work and win, said Brashear. One reason for the success of the organization is the extra practice time in the morning. The band and dance drill team practiced from 7 a.m. until 8:45. I noticed a pick up in the spirit of the band. There was a lot more togetherness than in past years, said Mike Hanagan, assistant drum ma- jor. Attitude on campus also changed. Students started to take notice of the band. band 25

We're trying to change the name as much as the image, explained Kitty Hetner, adviser. Dance-drill emphasized a jazz- dance style program, carrying it out in routines and costumes. We're trying to get away from the military image that we have always had at Redondo, said Cindy DeAnda, co-captain. Ms. Hetner, the new dance-drill adviser, was a walk- on adviser. Ms. Hetner had been a dance drill teacher for the Redondo Parks and Recreation Department for the last eight years. She had also worked at profession- al dance studios, clinics, and camp programs. Dance-drill added more school spirit by selling rooter ribbons for other sports besides football. Base- ball, volleyball, basketball, and also girls' sports were added. We wanted to be more of a spirit support group and thought this would be a good way to show more spirit, Cindy explained. Different props besides pom pons were used for their routines. Stretch sacks, hoops, and chairs were used for performances at the football halftimes shows. To account for the new uniforms and new Friday outfits, dance drill had many fundraisers. Candy sales, rooter ribbon sales, and fundraisers along with the band, made up for most of the costs.
