Because of their success, Southern predicts that UK majorette squads will continue to compete in this con- test. Contests are good because it is something to work toward, Lloyd said. It was a good experience. After practicing so hard you get really tired, but when you perform, it makes it all worth it, said Angela Mills Motley, a sophomore majo- rette. All the majorettes said a lot of their success was due to support from the band and assistant band director Steve Moore, who is married to cho- reographer Moore. -Kimberly Sisk f Q.-1 255' o o X -..

' he UK majorettes competed in a national college championship for the first time and came away winners. On Ian. 4, the majorette line com- peted and won in the national championships of the National Col- lege Majorette Line of America in Cleveland, Tenn. An audience of about 1,000 people watched the majorettes perform a condensed version of the Oz-Wiz routine the line performed at halftime during the football season. Paige Moore, who volunteers her time as majorette instructor, choreo- graphed the winning show as well as other UK routines. Sophomore majorette Marlyn Lloyd said they learned the routine during early week practice before the fall semester. When they decided to go to competition, the routine was chosen because the majorettes had worked on it since August, she said. The competition required the lines to perform a routine which had been used in a halftime show. There were four finalists with UK chosen as win- ner. The squad's captain, junior Tammy Southern, said some difficult moves were added to the SVZ minute routine and they used two batons, streamers and wings in the presentation. While the routine was pretty clean, Southern said, We have performed better. Not being on a football field Cthey performed in a gymnasium? was hard and different. Everybody was excited because this is the first time we have ever competed, said Marsha Smith, a sophomore majorette. Everything went over really well. The squad practiced 12 hours a week during football season. After deciding to enter the contest, the ma- jorettes practiced 2 hours each day an the pri wi tes soi sai pn tiri me M. ret th4 tha Sh TGC V' g f l -1 1 as
