The gau- chos can serve a dual role, being worn to affect a casual look while they can also be displayed in a more formal manner. Scarves were worn in a variety of ways .

.:-Rf' WCHS Introduces The Thrills Of Marching Competition To Watseka The Marching Warriors held their first marching band contest October lst on Blake Field, playing host to ten bands from various parts of the state. The contest con- sisted of two flights -- Flight I for the smaller squads and the Open Flight, specifically for the larger bands . Five bands competed in each division. Rock Falls marched to victory in Flight I, while the James B. Conant band from Hoffman Estates captured the Open Flight crown. The contest, sponsored by Watseka drum major, Bruce Heuton, awards the first place trophy to a majorette from Conant. The Marching Rockets from Rock Falls feature their percussion section in this part of their drill. the Band Boosters, along with the Kiwanis Club, at- tracted many observers de- spite the cold, drizzly weather. The conditions did not hamper the performers , as the competition pro- gressed at a brisk pace. In preparation for the con- test many band members ar- rived early Saturday after- noon to make signs, clean up and do the many necessary tasks essential to the suc- cess of the event. The Band Boosters took care of the concessions while the Civil Defense lent its assistance in many ways. This marked the first year that any such competition had been attempted. The in- augural contest laid the pre- cedent for the future con- tests since the event will now be held annually. Band Contest 17
