That's what it looks like tween Roger Dicks and Allen Ledford , but it's competition between Northside i Southside at the SHS-NHS football ne. The flag team feels the same spirit of rnpetition as the squad shows Northside air performance f2l, Liesa Parko seems rased with both of the performances f32. With a wave of his hand, Charles Scamardo questions Mr. Stan Cate about the pending halftime for September 1 7 Blytheville game. Rebel bond . . . the generator of excitement It seems that the band is something apart from the rest of the school. Yet it produces and promotes more spirit than all other organiza- tions in Southside combined. That spirit part is best seen in the concert season when students convert the excitement into concentration and emotional expression. Music: the art of communication through sound. That's ecstacylw Ken Voise, junior, gave the preceding Comment to express the feelings he has for band. The Rebel Band, made up of 110 musicians, is a big part of many functions of the school. Not only does this group provide the football and basketball games with music, help raise the student body spirit at the pep rallies, and provide the drill team with background music, but the band, along with chorus and orchestra, offers a Wide selection of classic and popular songs to music appreciators and also influences Southside students' awareness of the many different types of music and techniques used to express emotions and feelings in music. In January, the band attended the All-Region tryouts. Sixty-nine Southside students achieved a posi- tion in the All-Region Band. On January 29-30, the winners from All-Region attended a weekend clinic at Arkansas Tech, in Russell- ville. The clinic included many hours of practice, and ended with a concert given by the two concert bands chosen through the tryouts. The weekend also included a dance and other social activities to give the musicians from different schools and towns a chance to get to know each other, and also to break the monotony of practice. The top winners from All-Region tryouts were entitled to vie for a position in the All-State band. A record number from Southside, twenty-five band members, placed high enough in All-Region to enable them to try out for All-State. Those twenty-five people includedg Kathryn Cowan, Laura Stanulis, Leslie Gibson, Janet Didion, Diane Falt, Lisa Bateman, David Green, sophomoresg Jennifer Jesson, Kathi Roark, fcontinued on page 1151 113
