The Band Opens the Year With Rising Tunes In the year 1984-1985 the Spaulding High School Band showed that it was in- deed a band to be recognized. One mem- ber, Greg Perez said, Band members are the kind of people who want to improve and on the most part want to work. This was proved true by the groups many performances. The band opened the year with the rising tunes of, Maniac and Stray Cat Strut which shook the crowds. The spirit of the fall continued into the winter months and was kept up by the pep band which played at boys and girls bas- ketball games. It also played for the city of Barre many times during parades and other civic events. During the spring the band enjoyed a fantastic exchange with a High School in Gardner, Massachusetts. The group grew through these experi- ences not only in skill but also in a sense of togetherness. The band was, THE BAND. Chris Pirie puts the feeling of being a part of the band well, when you spend an entire weekend together, mar- ching on the snow and sleeping on a hard gym floor you get really close. It's not just a class or extra curricular activity, it's a family. — Sylvia Plumb 1 t Row — Darcie Shepard, Chris Moreau, Chris Tacey, Brian Long, Robert Edwards, Elizabeth Powell, Beth Ann Willie, Kenneth Alger 2nd Row — Patty Barbarow, Jonathan Magoon, Heather Miekle, Sharon Plumb, Gwen Ennis, Gina Palmisano, Daryl White, Nancy Pecor, Kris Kelly. 3rd Row — Rodney Day, Melissa Morgan, Brian Perdue, Lisa Laravee, Linda Candoge, Joy Kelly, Jolee Reed, Monique Cou- ture, Wendy Chaloux 4th Row — Pam Mazo, Diane Willette, Phil Mowatt, Liz Comiskey, Greg Perez, Kris- ten Seaver, Ethan Talmadge, Karl Johansen, Jenny Calcagni, Debbie Cerutti, Sylvia Plumb, Mr. Wam- pler. 1st Row — Nancy Pecor, Chris Pirie, Jenny Calcagni, Denise Messier, Kris Kelly 2nd Row — Mr Wampler, Liz Comiskey, Greg Perez, Sylvia Plumb, Debbi Cerutti, Linda Candoge, Joy Kelly. 1st Row — Darcy Shepard, Beth Ann Willie, Eliza- beth Powell, Kenneth Alger, Karl Johansen 2nd Row — Patty Barbarow, Robert Edwards, Greg Perez, Brian Long, Brian Perdue 3rd Row — Mr. Wampler, Debbi Cerutti, Heather Meikle 4th Row — Ethan Talmadge, Kristen Seaver, Gwen Ennis 5th Row — Sylvia Plumb, Lisa Laravee, Chris Pirie 6th Row — Ellen Grace, Phil Mowatt. 28 Band
