Peaches and Cream Band Spends New Year’s in Georgia What on earth could possess teenagers to leave home two days after Christmas, not return unwanted holiday gifts, withstand an eighteen hour bus ride, and spend New Year’s Eve on a bus? Ask the Bomber Band Members, and they’ll tell you. The Sayreville Bomber Band took part in various activities while in Georgia, such as the field show competition, mass band performance, and even a parade. With little spare time, the band managed to have some fun. The band’s leisure time activities consisted of going to an underground mall, riding a dean, above-ground subway, taking a tour of Atlanta, and visiting Stony Mountain, where the band was treated to a weenie roast, a hay ride, and a laser show. The hard work involved in putting on the pre-game and half-time show was rewarded with a night on the town. At the CNN building, a semi- formal dinner was held. After the en- joyable meal, the crowd, which con- sisted of over 5,000 students, band directors, and chaperons, eagerly awaited the presentation of the awards. Then the students were let loose! In a very dimly lit ballroom, everyone kicked up their heels and danced to the music played by the professional disc jockey. Finally the trip was all over. Everyone said their goodbyes and boarded the buses for the long ride home. High spirited, the Bomber Band prepared for a New Year’s Eve that would be the most memorable part of the trip. The band members decorated the buses with streamers and balloons. Since everyone was en- thused about the coming of the new year, craziness tilled the air. The students started to spike each other’s hair. What a sight!!! By 12:20 a.m. on January 1, 1987, everyone had fallen asleep. At noon, the Bomber Band was elated to see the little town ot Say- reville. What a sight it was for 125 pairs of sore eyes! Come on, Yun, New Year’s Eve spent on a bus can't be all that bad. Last-minute practices led by Lori Kocsis gives the flag members extra confidence and a winning edge on their upcoming performance. 22 Student Lite
