On the scene They say that there is magic in the Dallas. air ..... in Mollenkopf? This year there definitely was! The Raider Marching Band exhibited one of their finest seasons ever! The first game of the season was played on September 5, 1981. A Big City Salute was the theme, with the majorettes performing to New York, New York . Their excellent performance added to the thrill of winning over Iohn Hay. Throughout the season, the band played many all-time favorites, such as On Broadway , and Hurray for Hollywood . But the Salute to Ohio surpassed many of the other band shows and exhibited the talent of the band, not only in Warren but also in Mr, Ken Young und Gary Hoffman look over the band with pride. 4BfOrganizatia ns Each and every time they performed, the ability and endurance of this band was obvious. The football game never seemed complete without the halftime performance of the band The admission price of the game was a small price to pay to see such a large group of muscians join together to perform in such exquisite harmony Even when the team was not victorious in the football games, the band shows proved that Warren Western Reserve was a school of great variety and imagination. Their performances withstood many unpleasant weather factors, but yet still succeeded in entertaining all who were present. Saxophones Row 1.

Lots of pep In every half-time in which they performed, and during every afternoon they practiced, there was an enthusiastic prevailing spirit among the Warren Western Reserve Band members, This year's members showed Raider spirit in many ways: from hot summer practices to enthusiastic band shows, to raising money to go to Dallas. They began their season when most of us were not even thinking of returning to school. They practiced several hours after school each day, and they sacrificed each Friday or Saturday when there was a football game, while most of us were cheering in the stands, going to parties, or going out for another outrageous weekend. This year especially, practice and band shows did not terminate school spirit. Much effort went into fund raisers such as selling popcorn in Front: Brent Iohnson, Rod Cross, row 2: james DeGraffenreit, Brian Fabian, Dan Massey, Duke Dunlap, Dennis Gamad, Rusty Victor, Valerie Head Debbie Cameron shows band spirit.

But the biggest fund raiser this year was the Band Marathon held Friday, November 13, 1981. The marathon began at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and lasted until Saturday at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of this marathon was to raise money for the trip to Dallas, in which members performed at the Cotton Bowl Parade on New Year's Day 1982. A 313,000 goal for the marathon was set for the trip. The band spirit was quite revealing when band members camped out at school and music was heard for twenty-four hours through the halls of Reserve. Members were sponsored at least 10112 an hour-a pledge and the grandtotal reached S11,000 of the 313,000 goal. A busy and productive year for the band, carried their enthusiasm to the entire staff and student body and got everybody involved. Raider mascot Chuck Baker symbolizes Raider Spirit.
