Drill Squad: Visions of precise performance Drill squad, lead by captain Julie Welty, performed many times during the 1975-76 sea- son through visions of tears, hard work, and laughter. The season started with summer band. The girls practiced once a week with the band but often got together on their own when the need arose. Then, with the start of school came football season. Prac- ticing second period every day, often out- side in freezing weather, the girls per- formed different rou- tines at every home game. Basketball was next with new uniforms and new routines to different music. Soon thoughts turned to selecting new members and a new captain for the coming year. Band Parents voted to buy new uniforms for the coming year ' s basketball sea- son. Planning went on as the drill squad looked forward to more work, tears, and per- formances. 1. Senior drill squad members J. Kelly, S. Ehle , captain J. Welty, and S. Inlow perform during pre -game of a football game. These girls usually led the band onto the football field. 2.
