The Grenadier majorettes were a source of pride for SHS again this year. Assuming the responsibilities of head majorette, senior Barbara Polk tackled the awesome task of training five new twirlers in time for football season. Performing routines to feature numbers such as Rockin' 5035 and f'Lover, the unit earned an excellent rating in Alabama competition. Shunning sequins and flaming batons, the majorettes always displayed the class and dignity characteristic of the Grenadier band. Elizabeth Boyd and Lynn Davidson headed the '74-75 Grenadier bagpipers. Moving crowds with their rendition of Scotland the Brave, bagpipers brought much attention to the band on tour as well as at home. This unique and entertaining unit was highlighted in halftime shows as the Highland dancer, Anita Feimster, gracefully perfonned the traditional Scottish Sword Dance. gd 4 i u 'U ' at hu, W ,,, K Gaining the approval of Mr. Rudd, Bill Gwaltney, Thomas Gill. and Tommy Robinson master a difficult French horn solo.
