Twirling Trio Adds Character to Halftime Shows With Gwen Bazan as head, the Tabb High Maiorettes participated in football games and parades, adding color and sparkle to the Tiger Band. Many days were spent after schtxil as Gwen, with the help of Mrs. Ford (sponsor), worked up new and varied routines. Karen Markoff, Jackie Adams, and Gwen Bazan were kept on their toes throughout the year, bustling to games, pep rallies, and parades. Next year the squad will have a hard place to fill with Gwen’s departure to Florida. Gwen manages ro keep a smile going along with her fire baton. Karen Markoff seems to be in deep concentration. v; MAJORKTTFS

Band Goes to See Maynard Ferguson February 20th, several band members traveled to Richmond to see Maynard Ferguson, a great favorite of the bands. The big event of the year though, was the trip to Walt Disney World in Lakeland, Florida during spring vacation. Soon after returning home, the Jazz Ensemble held a performance in Williamsburg, and the Variety Show and Spring Awards Concert closed up the year. The THS Bands of the 74-75 school year certainly did a great job. OFFICERS: Drum Major — Robert Diggles, President — Dennis Holland, Vice President — Mary Beth Edwards, Secretary — Betsy Johnson, Kathy Bickett, Librarian — Donna Rowe. The Tiger Band is a source for true talent. Drummer, Dennis Holland, is caught by the camera during stage band practice. Percy Ironmonger, loved by everyone, can always be depended on to provide entertainment for any event that comes along. He and his remarkable band have proven to be real examples of communicative spirit, in the true sense of the word. JAZZ ENSEMBLE: R. Belford, B Diggles, H. Austin, G. Miller, D. Nuckols, R. Liles, M. Crabb, D. Jones, E. Pickens, J. Pierce, T Holmes, S. Hancock, S. Rollins, M. Kepley, K. Redhair, S. Davis, S. Lamb, D. Rowe, C. Fisher, D. Holland, S. Richmond. 38 BAND
