Swingi ng Arms And Clapping Feet Beneath tawdry plumage, riders trot by with equestrian companies. Band after band, trombones blaring, march by. Then there is a lull ... 80 hrieking toddlers, with slushy sno- cones and gritty cotton candy, border the searing blacktop roads. Clowns, their frizzy pink manes exploding from beneath pointed hats, mix sorrowfully with the crowd. Concessionaires peddle gaudy pennants and sticky candy bars. Confetti showers the crowd, banners are strung from lamp posts: a parade. Beneath tawdry plumage, riders trot by with equestrian companies. Band after band, trombones blaring, march by. Then there is a lull. Even before they round the corner, faint insinuations of stomping feet float through the crowd. One by one, they enter view, attired in brilliant uniforms. The banner introduces them: RHS Marching Band. Their fingers gliding skillfully over clarinets, their feet clap- ping a rhythmic beat, they awe the crowd with their visual splendor and bril- liant music. For the band, the year was a rebuild- ing one. A new director, Mr. Gary Solo- mon, gave the band a new perspective. My major goal was to develop a credi- ble instrumental music program. I now see that my goal was achieved. He instilled in his musical proteges the confidence, self-esteem, and pride cru- cial to success in the performing arts. He was helped by the Band Booster Club, 2 who raised over $2,000. Cymbals clashing, the band passes the crowd. The sound of their marching feet fades into the distance, and the spectators look after them, touched by the brilliant and moving display of artist- ry they have just witnessed. 1. Gliding her fingers skillfully over her flute, Lii Spiekermon plays the theme from the Wizard of Oi. 2. Working together, Mr. Solomon guides GIna O ' Donnell through a difficult melody. 3. Tim Guerrero and Rick Stewart practice for an upcom- ing parade. 4. Bond.

Matinee Packs Backstage Theater I irst, I spotted a fascinating piece of advertising tacked to a wall. It an- nounced that Of Mice and Men, a supe- rior work by John Steinbeck, was going to be produced by RHS students. The general consensus on campus conclud- ed that it would inevitably spice up the fall semester and dramatically entertain hundreds of spectators. Another bit of intriguing publicity was the special matinee of Friday afternoon. It was the first afternoon showing by the drama department. It was a good idea because people like me stayed after school to see the play and then went to the football game, commented Missy Johnson, who was one in the crowd of over one hundred present at the perfor- mance. Refreshments and other goo- dies were sold during intermissions which made this crowd pleasing event even more popular. Enticing spectators ' enjoyment were the superb performances by expert ac- tors. The dumb, pitiful character Len- nie ' was portrayed by newcomer Brent Ottoson who went to the extent of blowing saliva bubbles on stage to add an extra dimension of reality to his somewhat retarded character. ' George ' was played by veteran Richard Alcan- tar. Richard has clinched a part in every Trouper production since his freshmen year. My favorite part was when George was forced to kill Lennie. It was the high- light of the play, and you could tell that they had practiced long and tedious hours to perfect the scene. I ' m sure the overwhelming success of the play more than made up for the repetitive daily re- hearsals. Once again, the Troupers pulled off another smashing perfor- mance 1. Lennie (Brent Ottoson) and George (Richard Al- cantor) hold a discussion. 2. Posed in a forceful stance, George (Richard Alcantar) referees a fight between Curly (Brion Williams) and Lennie (Brent Ottoson). 3. A touching moment between Curly ' s wife (Rachel Bell) and Lennie (Brent Ottoson). 4. The cast Of Mice and Men, Front Row: Dwayne Ochoo, Rachel Bell, Richard Honsen. Row 2: Clc- mente Diox, Lonnie King, Richard Alcantar, Brian Williams, Brent Ottoson, and George Sanchez. ...
