They were not there to take up space at the half-time of the games, but to add color and flash to the perfor- mances. During the summer, they each had very long hours of practices, and many camps to attend. But, while at camp, they learned new ideas to add even more zest to the half-time enter- tainment. Unlike the band each and every mem- ber must set time aside to raise funds to pay for their uniforms. Feature twirler, Lezlie Williams, was the center of attention at half-time to the delight of the crowd. Kellye Campbell was crowned Band Queen by Earnie Abraham, at the annual band concert.

Then they were awarded most impressive marching band in the state. All band members who tried out for All State made it past the pri- minary competition. DeAnn Mer- ritt made the All State Stage Band. The band competed in concert at Central State Contest. One year seemed to make the dif- ference as the band got it together in 79-80.
