K' ble Contest held at Northside in March, the Region Playing contest at Russellville the same month, as well as numerous football half-time shows, basketball games, and pep rallies. Extra effort was required on the part of all band students to prepare for their first football game ofthe year against Conway. Pre-school rehear- sals started on August 15. Concentration was mainly on learning music, some of which had to be mem- orized. However, music was not the only concern for 16 band members this year. They made up South- sidels flag team. This group performed with the band, to music that the band played, at half-time shows. Members included: Mary Jo Cook, captain, Michaela Pomrenke, co-captain, Shirley Lairamore, Kathi Roark, Sherry Pryor, Mary Sue Wheeler, Regina Widman, Carol Perry, seniorsg Ginger Allen, Pam Turner, Janet Didion, Terri Hunter, Toni Robertson, juniorsg and Cathy Newhouse, Leslie Bagby, and Debbie Wheeler, sophomores. A great deal of dedication and hard work was required on the part of each band member. Thus, most members had some strong feelings about band. J i X, 5 Q ' f- '-ft ' wif 4 -,,.x.i.frnma.' ' t , gm: .
