MAJ ORETTES Preceding the award-winning Panther Band at each parade were the Riverside majorettes. Their fluency displayed in marching and twirling was achieved by devoting many long, tedious hours in de- veloping their skills. These high-step- pers were not only viewed as they pa- raded down the avenues but also as they performed at various times during the year before Riverside audiences. Through the proficient instruction of Head Majorette Barbara Altsman, the girls experienced a successful and noteworthy year. Among their awards, the girls took first place in a summer competition drill with other corps in Beaver and Lawrence Counties. A good laugh helps break the monotony of a long practice session. 7l
