morching to the rhythmic dt riving to school, a glimmering light reflects in a band member's rearview mirror. Curious about the extreme brightness, he glances over his shoulder to discover that it's the sun rising. Presenting oneselfin public by 7:08 a.m. was a task shared by a relatively small number. Dur- ing competition season, Monday nights were designated as the official practice time for the entire Entertainment Unit. These sessions proved successful as their ratings soared. At the Colton competition, as well as in Sierra Vista and Claremont, this group earned the eminent Sweepstakes recognition for all categories in- cluding general effects, music, and field pattern. Not only was competing a factor, but this presti- gious group was involved with other activities, such as hosting the South Bay Field Tourna- ment at El Camino College. In addition, fun- draisers were by concerts and the sale of Christ- mas trees. The profits were primarily directed towards their long awaited Scandinavian tour scheduled for the upcoming summer. 'll love my job because it combines my two major loves-teaching music and teenagers, stated Director Jim Banim, l like being a part of a students day.
