A of ng or 8c Sound Drum Majorettes: Laura Kawalec and Sharyn Bloodgood The Bomber Band consistently remained the half time highlight of the weekly football games. The dazzling array of colors and sounds were not, however, without long hours of prac- tice and regimentation. The band members once again gave their utmost dedication to their chosen activity. During the last week of summer, the Bomber band was just beginning a year of practice and precision. From that point on, they spent an average of eighteen to twenty-five hours a week polishing their performances. This year, in an attempt to strengthen both the size and appear- ance of the band, the company was composed of both junior and senior high musicians. Under the direction of Mr. Ketterer and Mr. Donelon, the transition period went smoothly and eventually proved successful. The band demonstrated its ability in the many competitions it entered, including the Cedar Ridge Band Fanta- sia and the Princeton Pre-game Com- petition. High place finishes at both events ranked Sayreville among the best regional marching units. With trumpets raised, the brass of the Bomber band blares out in harmony. 28 Marching Band

ups|Nl DOWNS: Emulating the Rockettes, the twirlers high step it on the field. inds And Warm Smiles The icy wind and frigid temperatures tore through their uniforms as the Band Front watched the football team exit from the field. The air may have been bitter, but the smiles were warm as the Sayreville Band Front executed increasingly professional routines before receptive Bomber football crowds. The marching season began in the final weeks of August. Despite a lack of finances, a makeshift band camp at the High School produced a consoli- dated group of individuals. Working towards a common goal under the direction of Mr. Ketterer, the Band Front braved the victories and defeats as they worked to further their reputa- tion and increase Sayreville spirit.
