Flaggies, Color Guard, Riderettes perform with band When the marching band performed in parades or football games or went to contests, it was accompanied by three other groups. Captain Laura Reese led the Flaggies in routines such as the swingy Basin Street Blues. They used both small and large flags for their perfor- mances. The Color Guard, headed by Chris Snyder, carried and twirled rifles. Sandra McNeal and Twyla Lee were the co-captains of Riderettes. Several members had attended camps during the summer and brought back ideas for new routines. The Riderettes per- formed at basketball games as well as in the other activities with the band. Some of their routines were Get Up and Boogie, Jet, Rocky, Gospel John, and Shop Around. The Riderettes held several bake sales and a skating party. These groups also went with the band to Washington, D.C. over spring break. Flaggies.
