4CC 76 t (faft Our first performance was so scary, said senior, second captain Kari Workman, I didn ' t know what they expected. The combination of fear and excitement was felt every time that the members of Lady Jazz would perform. Knowing that their friends would be out there, helped them stick it out. I like to see my friends perform, and this is perfect, said junior Tami Kilgore. Their different dances brought attention to the fact that they weren ' t a drill team. They tried to get the audience involved, making the routines not only fun, but interesting too. Trying out new routines to see how the school would react was part of the fun, said junior Lori Bradbard. The love of dancing was what brought twenty-two girls together to increase their dance talents and become a group. Lady Jazz took off with a bang at the beginning of the year, but as the year went on, they settled, becoming just another kid on the block. We had strong support in the beginning, said senior, first captain Karen Dreschler, but the excitement of having a new dance team died down as the year went on. The top seven girls from the try-outs made up the specialty team. They did the group numbers as well as additional, more difficult dances, for which they wore different uniforms. Expenses, including camp, uniforms, gloves, hats, streamers, shoes, and even socks added up to around $500, a little more than some members intended. These costs caused a few members to drop out in the beginning. The majority of those who stayed, though, found that their fun was worth the money. Four days a week in summer, first period, and after school, the girls practiced routines for camp, football and basketball games, and assemblies. The first five football games were home, so we had to practice every chance we got. said freshman Yesenia Ware. Practicing left little time for other activities in school. During the summer, the girls went to a U.S.A. dance camp at (J.C.S.B., where they showed off their stuff, while getting new tricks of the trade from other schools. The girls found that it was worthwhile because they learned a lot and had fun at the same time. The hard times paid off as the girls danced their way through the year. As they learned how to manage their own team, they also learned how to make friends and add spirit. They just looked like they were having fun! said junior Shannon Booth. Lady Jazz.

fceaetq? . Ofaupf Rally practiced all through the year. Then came out and started to cheer. Spirit soared throughout the gym As the band played our own school ' s hymn. Oh when the Saints ... They got a new leader named GayLynn Moore. She advised all the girls. that ' s what she was for. She knew the ropes from years before And taught new mounts for when we scored. By washing cars, money they did make. And as secret pals, goodies did bake. They practiced for rallies during period one. Then rated their performance when they were done. They discussed what was wrong if the rating was bad. They polished to perfection turning bad into rad. Six hours a week after school they were here. It was mandatory practice to get them in gear. Cheers were heard down through the halls. Their voices were hoarse after yelling at walls. Unity played a major part. Squads performed together right from the start. Aloha, Spook, and Fairy Tale dreams. Were well received ideas for themes. Rallies ended with an inspiring cry . . . VICTORY! Front. Mascot: Devon Clark. Row 2. Varsity Song: Charina Oro.
