Cathy Duncan, (right) the 2003-04 drum major, accepts the band's bucket of "poker" chips from Emily Wright, (left) drum major the previous two years. The chips are used to mark spots on the field while members learn new marching formations.

Just a few of the new band members pause for a photo while practicing outside the band room at the middle school July 29th.

Summer band began in earnest this week with mornings either on the sunny practice field at Sallee Field or in the shade of the Baptist Tabernacle's gymnasium. Afternoon sessions are held in the band room.

The band is preparing for their first halftime performance at the Mannford football game September 5th. Their first marching contest will be at Owasso September 27th. They will be defending their state championship November 1st at the OBA competition in Broken Arrow.
