The marching season got off to a nice start w ith a 5th place showing at the Francis Howell contest with the drum line and flag corps each placing second. The definite highlight of the whole season though was the Busch Stadium Contest, where 37 bands from across Missouri. Illinois, and Kentucky compet- ed. It was an all-day affair, and the band spent the bus ride to St. Louis psyching themselves for the performance. Everyone was nervous during the few minutes before the show, but the ner- vousness payed off. They were to perform the best show all year. Rock Bridge was the envy of everyone as they swept their division, taking first place in every category: overall band, out- standing drum major, outstanding drum line, and outstanding flag corps. Two of the band mem- bers catapulted Mr. Hadfield to their shoulders, and the whole band ran screaming and chanting all the way to the bus. The whole experience provided some great memories for the band. They got to spend time together as a group and had the unforgettable feeling of winning their whole division (which no other band accompli- shed). Drum major David Diggs. a senior. said. It was a great feeling to stand in front of thou- sands of people at Busch Stadium and be recog- nized as being the best when you ' ve had so much fun getting there. Senior Bucky Stamper added that. In junior high I always looked forward to band at Rock Bridge, and my three years at RB have been even better than I had expected. It ' s the times like Busch Stadium that I ' ll always remember. All our hard work really payed off. Mike Wagner sums it up best with. We banded together as a unit. Honorable Mention District Band — Flutes-Carol Slusher. Karen Clark. Saxapt ones-David Diggs.
