The band has striven to make many advances this year. With much help from Mrs. Scott, president of the Rand Booster Club, quite a few fund iising activities were carried out. Many band members, Riderettes, Flaggies, and parents worked to raise money for two specific goals. The goals were to supply next year ' s band with new uniforms and the possibility of a trip in the spring of 73. The new uniforms are due to arrive in the fall of 74. They are to replace the worn and tattered uniforms which were worn during the 1973-74 season and many years previous. The 80-some new uniforms are to consist of a complete concert i)and uniform, including overlay. A band trip, including Flaggies cind Riderettes, as well as band members was planned by Mr. Hewus and Mrs. Scott after much consideration. The band went to Ra[)id City, South Dakota on May 31- ine 2. Highlights of the trip included a hance lo go as a 114 piece unit to compete against bands from all over the U.S., have clinics with a big, famous band, and have fun along the wav. For the first time in twenty years, the Riderettes had uniforms which were the same in structure and design. The thanks for the new Riderette uniforms is owed to Mrs. Hsth(;r Miller. Mrs. Miller, mother of scmior Riderette, Sandy Miller, gave up much of her summer time to make [ha 3H cow-girl style uniforms. The Rid(jrettes are lead by Debbie Halderman, Head Riderette; Marcia Roby, Vice-President; Carol Hardie, Secretary: and Paula Vance. Treasurer. Riderettes and Flag Cadets hold clinics and try-outs in mid-spring. It is at this time new Flaggies and Riderettes (called Pennants and Farmerettes, respectively] ar(? chosen for the next year. The 8 Flag Cadets are headed by Marty Miller, Head Captain and Barb A 11 (in, Assistant Captain. A rec|uirement of the Flaggies is that the have to be members of the band before they may try out. After the marching s(?ason, they become instrum(?ntalists, onc ? again. Row 1: Laurie Scott. Jocelyn Hart. Ann Gibbons. Wendy Nelson. Row 2: Barb Allen. Mel Kacena. Marly Miller. Kathy Burch.

Marching Band under new directio Mr. Ron Hewus came to Roosevelt at the beginning of the 73- 74 school year to direct instrumental music. His responsibilities consist of directing the bands and orchestra. One of the bands Mr. Hewus directs is the 72 piece marching band. The marching band put on pre-game and half-ti me shows at football games during the 73 football season. The Rider band, lead by drum major Stan Bench, president Mark LaFollette, and student director Joe Kingkade, marched only at home games this fall season. Lack of money allotted to the band s transportation was the reason the band could not march at all the games. During the off-football season, the marching band is converted into the concert band. This band is 99 ' ; the same as the marching band stated Mr. Hewus. The concert band took part in the state contest competition. Pnini M.iinr St, in l -nch Slii(i(3nt Director Joe Kinj kade Directing a marching band involves a lot of paper— as Mr. Hewus finds out. 18 Marching Band

Krazy Kake Kontest was one of the ways Girls Club got into the Homecoming festivities. Other ways included selling pins, ribbons, and chocolate bars. Throughout the football and basketball seasons Pep Club, School Beautiful, and School Spirit decorated homes and lockers of teams. The Convalescent Committee had a Halloween party for the children ' s home, and another at Christmas. The committee also held food drives for needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Daddy-Daughter Dinner was held on Valentines Day to get girls together with their daddies.
