Abiding By the Rules Measure by Measure % U e had rough times with band this year, but % V the good times definitely made up for the ▼ ▼ bad, said Nick Romano, a senior in the RHHS Band. The Pep Band played again for the Spartan Varsity Basketball Team. Old and new songs filled the gym with excitement and energy. Even though there were not many fans for the games, the Pep Band tried with the best of their ability to give the basketball team more confidence. Along with playing at the boy basketball games, the Pep Band also played for two girls basketball games. With problems this past year in scheduling for Pep Band members, it was very difficult to get the majority of members to the games. All in all, they managed to make the most out of the home basketball games. The Pep Band could only be seen at home games. The Pep band members originated from the High School Band. The band consisted of a little over 30 members. During the school year, they could be seen performing with the choir in their winter and spring concerts. Along with concerts, many members have performed in auditions and contests. These events also coincided with the seniors conducting the Band. This was Mr. Maneri ' s idea, the band director, which he started two years ago. Directing, has given the 70 Band seniors the opportunity to see what it is like for the teacher to conduct, said Karen Adomaitis a senior in the band. Although it has been a slow year for the Pep Band, members still believe that they have gained much. Playing at home basketball games and even at some of the girls games keep the players active and involved. Directing has given the seniors the op- portunity to see what it is like tor the teach- er to conduct, If anything, we probably are a group that goes unrec- ognized by the students. But we still like to think that we add some spirit to the games, commented senior Nick Romano. Nick played drums for both the Pep Band and the marching band. But all in all, most members would agree that the good times were the best measure of the year. - K! '
