New Color Guard has first season A new group — the Color Guard — was formed this year to assist the Roosevelt Marching Band. Four of the 12 Color Guard carry flags and the others carry rifles. The flags carried represent America, Iowa, the Bicentennial, and the Original Thirteen Colonies. Head Riderette Nanci McCon- nell attended a clinic during the summer and brought back new ideas and marching skills. Other officers were Vice-Head Courtney Neu- mann, Secretary Marcia Harding, Treasurer Beth Case, and strippers Barb Tiffin and Sarah Wenner- strum. The eight Flaggies, headed by Captain Daisy Hoyt, also march and perform with the band. They received new flag poles and made their own flags which they present- ed at the boys state wrestling tour- name nt. All three of these groups accom- panied the band and orchestra to Washington, D.C. to perform in the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade.

Jazz band and string orchestra perform often Roosevelt ' s 21 -member jazz band encountered numerous set- backs after achieving third place in the South Central Iowa Bandmas- ters Jazz Festival at Valley. However, the lack of awards won at contests did not discourage the young group. We ' re better overall and we have next year to look forward to, added Mr. Larry Green, director. This year, the jazz band ap- peared at the boys state basketball tournament and at contests at Hoover, Creston, and Drake. The orchestra became more in- volved in playing around Des Moines as well as giving a concert at the Lincoln Memorial on a trip to Washington, D.C. Mrs. Cheryl Kutscher directed the string orchestra in her first year at Roosevelt. The string orchestra and full orchestra both received one rat- ings at the state large group con- test.
