•SUNDER THE SHADOW OF THE MATTERHORN. the Banner Squad marches down Main S treet at Disneyland Banner per- formed along with the Drill Team and amazed many on-lookers, A STRETCHING BEFORE A PRACTICE, the Drill Team loosened their muscles. The Drill Team had spent many hours perfecting their routines. Jnit SHU! Despite trials faced fay the Unit, they JAMMED! Tall Flags, Banner, and Drill, also known as Pageantry Units, are what the world sees as Walnut, said Banner Captain, Carrie Mad- dux, through parades, football games, court competitions, and field shows. This past year, under the supervision of new adviser, Carol Sarkis- sian, the unit as a whole exhibited more spirit, according to Tall Flag Captain Shan- non Thomas. Along with the introduction of Precision Dnll, (the best seven of the Drill Team,) the Pageantry Unit had crowds and audiences rising up out of their seats at the Lynnwood Parade in December. Although there were more freshmen than upperclassmen on the Pageantry Unit, many of the upperclassmen thought that this was more of an advantage than a hindrance. I hope that they stay with it and improve, ue- cause if they do. Walnut Will be the best around, said Drill Team Captain and up- perclassman Deanne Honda. Totally FRESH talent, said freshman Maddux. Bringing home one first place, one third, two fourths and several trophies from the Lynn- wood Parade, demon- strated the charm and talent of the Pageantry Unit, said Band Direc- tor Buddy Clements. They have come a long way, said former Tall Flags member Mi- chelle Miller. With all of what we built this year, and with what we will have next year, we (Pageantry Unit) will finally be get- ting the recognition we have deserved, con- cluded Drill Team Co- Captain Annette Ar- ciero.

V|y St of heights -4 Mustang hand marches its way to the top with poise, confidence and magnificent said four year member spent a weekend play- Other bands were bigger, said freshman ngrid Salamanca, but we were better! The Walnut Mustang Band won a lot despite their small size. In Oc- tober, they participat- ed in a parade in Ban- ning, in which they placed first, and then in Garden Grove they placed second. During a Christmas parade in Lynwood, the band missed winning Sweep- stakes, the highest placement, by six- tenths of a point. It was so frustrating, said four year member Sandy Behrens, we were so close! Walnut took first place instead, no prestige lost. In September, Wal- nut played at Disney- land, and with exclusive invitation, brought the band back to march down Main Street. Bands are not invited back to Disneyland un- less they were impres- sive the last time, said trumpet player Peter Silva. Aside from basket- ball, football games and pep rallies, the band spent a weekend play- ing at a music festival in San Diego as well as marched in the annual Walnut Family Festival in October. Hard work, said band director Buddy Clements as well as concentration and ef- fort, said freshman Ja- son Miller were the four ingredients essential to the winnings.
