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.

Individuality Although the band works together as a group, it takes many individual talents to make them the success that they are. Directing the band were Mr. Gary Hoffman and Mr. Ken Young. These men worked long hours perfecting the band in their drills and their music, and as it turned out, their time paid off. Representing and leading the band were the band officers. The president, senior Keith Monty, a four year band member, felt that this was the best year ever . Keith was also the section leader of the trumpets. Colleen Cameron, also a member of the band for four years, and also one of the section leaders of the clarinets, was Vice-president. Iunior band member Anita Konitsney was Secretary! Treasurer, as well as being a squad leader of the baritones. 5 -fs-if f ' ,,M'v21, 5 'L ,Yr ef .- Y.f.1.s 2 ll A f 4, W, w 13, Clarinets-Front Raw: Caroline Pillar, Deidre Smith, Rochelle Redman, Tina Flamino, Missy Cerny, Aquilla Moorre, Cindy Code, Tammy Shaffer, Valerie Anderson, Newey Love, Kandi Delaney.

Adding pizazz and style to the marching band were the Western Reserve Golden Girls, led on and off the field by head majorette Kerri Crimes. Kerri, who has been dancing since she could walk, has been with the maiorette line for four years, and led it for two. Her own combination of dazzling costumes and original choreography created many glittering and exciting performances. Before the band could become a group, the individuals had to achieve a high level of self esteme. Moving up from chair to chair was a challenge as each member strived for that first chair. Bringing together such fine individuals could bring about nothing less than a sensational group of musicians! fr ...g. , 1 ., ,,.., t- i' ' we V as if .4 ' , 41,3-...-,, st- ..w - N, V- ,l , W View , , , , f eww, - M ur Stiles, Sheila May, Kristen Galvin, Stacey Fos- ter, leff Hunt, Iolyne Esparza, Kim Sawyer, Lisa Robertson, Stella Wolters, Laura lnnizzaro, Colleen Cameron.
