Sacrificing their summers to practice, students found they’d ather be swimming r he few. the proud, the students of spirit organiza- tions. These members dedi- cated almost one-third of their summer to practice with the hope of making their or- ganizations the best they could be. As the hot days of Au- gust rolled by, the members of the band, drill, football and cheerleading teams practiced all over the campus. With the rising of the sun. the band and drill were already hard at work on learning fundamen- tals and mastering intricate routines. The cheerleaders prepared for the upcoming year by making spirit posters and practicing new cheers for the upcoming freshman orientation. The football players were also busy, learn- ing new plays and preparing their bodies for future games. The start of practice brought new friends together and provided a reunion for old ones. 1 was expecting it to be quiet the first day. but everyone was running around crazy, yelling and screaming. said freshman band member Tom Cope- land. who arrived Aug. 5. un- aware of what work lie ahead. But for senior cheerleader Kristin Spearman, it was like coming home. The corps are my best friends. It was no problem to come to school and work with them,” said Kristin. I love it, or I wouldn’t be on it. It’s hard work, but it is worth it in the end” —Kristin Speatman As practice continued, the temperature soared into the hundreds. Band members laid all over the parking lot in sweaty clothes, during a short five minute break while the football team pounded the turf and each other, bur- dened with heavy equipment and humid heat. Hard work. sweat and tedious rehearsals filled practice time but Getting up and getting to practice by 7 o'clock was the real suffering, after that the practicing was easy. said senior Silhouette Kim White, everyone had a different views on what was the worst. To get out of the monotonous everyday routine, the band coucil set up special activities to make the practices more enjoyable. The had special days such as Nerd Day, Hawaiian Day and Swimsuit Day. Along with this they also had picnics and parties. Practice was fun be- cause our band director had different things planned for us. It made our hard work worthwhile and made us try even harder. said junior Rhonda Martin. Summer practice was a necessity. It prepared the or- ganizations for the upcoming year while building pride, unity and spirit. Members realized this and dedicated themselves to the cause. As Spearman summed up. I love it. or 1 wouldn’t be on it. It's hard work, but it is worth it in the end.” •Dec Geiger Spin me right’round Wanning up with fnxiflpins as the hand plow stains, junior lnuufrr Nt-Jms unuins for tfir inlaw pr.it titr bifore her.
