Have you checked the children? Are they sleeping peacefully in their beds like most normal teenagers would be at this unearthly hour, or is the room empty and the bed cold? The gloomy stillness of the early morning air is disturbed by eight piercing lights. Your curiosity is aroused, and you go closer to investigate. You find four buses slowly filling up with stumbling, pale, blurry-eyed people. Seeing them brought to mind the terrifying zombie stories told to you many years ago by your great- grandmother. These thoughts quickly disap- pear when you notice that everyone is carrying pillows, blankets and enough candy to last for days. Then you hear someone comment, ttThis is CRAZYH Only the band and the Army go places this early in the morningli, That was it! Band Contest! Yould heard about it, but you didnt know they left that early in the morning. These people were really dedicated. They put in hours of hard work and long practices. One thing that was really amazing was that they cut short their summer vacation to be ready to put on a superior show for the first home football game. A few of the students were standing around outside, so you approach Kendra Fannon l85. ttI really enjoy marching band? com- mented Fannon. ttWorking hard for Mr. McCarty, the director, is easy because he is easy to relate to? Marching isnlt everything to a band. Concert season plays a big part in a band,s greatness because of ttfast tempos, tricky runs and lots of practice at home on your own? commented Jennifer Kincaid During warm-up, Tammy Wilson and Michelle Arn, both 86, and Karin Bernhard l85, tune their Clarinets with the rest of the band. ,1 I7j1 ttMr. Gary McCarty and Mr. Robert Cochran, co-directors, are very vital to the band. They hold us together and make us practice. The work is hard, but the rewards make it all worthwhile? stated Lyle Officer 87. ttIf we go to contest and make a I, then all the hard work will be worth it? Mr. McCarty was new this year and he brought in some new ideas to improve the concentration and the technique of the band. He feels that he has been well accepted and that the students he works with are good people. ttThe kids want to be good and are willing to work for it? stated McCarty. ttI feel that after two or three years here, the band will do exceptionally well. That will give me enough time to get organized? It was getting late and buses had to leave for Carrolton so they could get to the contest by 9 a.m. to practice before they were judged. Later that night, the silence was once again broken by four throbbing bus engines. The parking lot of the school was bedlam, and shouts and laughter filled the air. Everyone was excited because that very afternoon they had proven their excellence by taking the first place trophy in street marching. It was late, but the students werenlt tired; they had won and everyone was happy. Soon there was silence once again as everyone went home proud and satisfied with themselves; The bandls hard work had finally paid off. - Amy Schwichtenberg success Wm...- T SMAWAH HIGH SCHOOl MARCHING SAVAGES The SHS Band proudly displays their banner at every parade.
