very one was anxious, cries of What do you think he ' s going to be like? rang out from all corners of the room. Soon all gues- tions were answered, as the new band di- rector, Charles Gray, walked through the door. Mr. Gray had many goals for the band. One of them was to take the band members to different places to perform in parades and competitions. I look forward to doing new things with the band, instead of just staying in Riverside, stated Theresa Guerreo, a clarinet player. Being on band took a lot more than the years involved learning how to play an instrument. A major part of it was learning the formations and marching. An interesting point came from Mike Riggs, Band is a fun way to express your talent. It took a lot of time and caring to get this group where it stands. Every Tuesday and Thursday were spent practicing. It was worth the effort, the band has really improved in music and marching, said a triumphant Tony Morales. e

II In £ 5 » n IS) O Qj -o 3 L C ,U 9 C U a; ' t: V Q. o . J U ui £ Out on the football field a multitude of colorful flags swayed in the wind. On the other side were lines of girls marching in military steps to the beat of Oingo Boingo. A cool breeze blew through their hair, as a threatening voice rang out, It may be cold, but I still want to see a smile on your faces. The Drill and Flag teams were an important part of keeping up school morale. They were supposed to set the standards for everyone and promote school spirit. It took a lot of time and effort, but I think we did a good job in keeping the spirit up all year round, said enthusiastic Julieta Urrutia, a first year member on Drill. Not many problems erupted during the year. With the many after school activities and nightly practices, keeping up with homework could have become a problem as Penny Field, a Flag member explains, Homework is real hard to keep up with when we practice real late. Even with two new captains Kelly Mulligan, Drill; and Rosanne Lopez, Flag; the teams stuck together as one. The teams really came together when there was a problem. I was proud to represent the Flag team, commented Rosanne Lopez. C Practicing after school, the Drill Team works on a complicat- ed routine. Drill was important to keep up school morale. Sandy Cassel, and Rosanne Lopez practice before a game. Being a sophomore, Lopez was captain and Cassel served as co- captam.
