Marche rs Leave their Mark This year was a new beginning for the Tecumseh Arrow Marching Band and Guard. The band, under the direction of Mr. Terry Maxson, played at all football games and did a new half time show at every home game. Including a special Hal- loween show written by the senior mem- bers. The band was also very successful this year in competition. Competing al- ways against themselves, they hoped to better their own score from the previous competition. Finally achieving their high- est score at the Marching Bands of Amer- ica National Competition at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Marching Band attended Band Camp at Ohio Northern University, in Ada, Ohio. This year, band camp saw many dances, skit night, and a freshman bathing beauty contest with the guys wearing the girls bathing suits. Band camp ended with a special performance for the parents back at the high school stadium. The season ended with an indoor con- cert and an award banquet later that even- ing. Many new awards presented by the staff added to the evening, plus a last tri- bute to the senior class. The band has a lot to look forward to in the future. This is really only the begin- ning of what I want to do with the band, and it was a very successful start, stated Mr. Maxson. We have a lot of fun and do a lot of hard work, but the friendship gained in the group makes the hard work seem easy. It's a great experience in the band. 162 The Arrows take the field in competition.
