Grenadiers Thrill Spectators in Southern Festivals Band director Ken Rudd assembled the entire band two weeks before classes resumed last summer to familiarize them with marching techniques. The Grenadiers spent long hot hours in the sun to prepare for upcoming competition. Not only did they spend extra hours rehearsing, but devoted numerous school nights to selling light bulbs and popcorn to help pay expenses during the year. The Grenadiers were warmly welcomed wherever they went. Before each home football game, school spirit was sparked through the band's tunnel. Due to lack of funds and distant band festivals, travel to away games was impossible. Some of the enthusiastic band members put their talents to further use by forming smaller groups. A jazz band entertained parents during Open House, andthe pep band promoted spirit during Homecoming Week. Competition was a key word throughout the year, whether it be during marching or conceit season. Leaving early in the I . , , ,,l 1 X morning and returning very late at night by the playing of Loyal cmd True as tht became a way of life for the band as they Greyhounds and cheerleaders raced competed almost every week-end during September and October. Late in September, the Grenadiers visited the Mid-South Marching Band Festival in Alabama. The band, as well as drum- major Tim Ferron, received superior ratings for their performance. They were also awarded superior in Camden, South Carolina, as well as first place in Cary, North Carolina. The pride of Statesville, the Grenadiers participated in political rallies and concerts, as well as the Christmas, Homecoming, and Dogwood parades. :.m1'Q 4I1'Sn1 of .f ,. f - T if MT vit qv 'T Sfrakirtsii T T f 'wf, ' iai'tf+? if 4?
