Band Names
Majorette
Candidates
Misses Reba Brown and . Rita
Lloyd have been named co-cap
tains of the Athens High School
band majorettes, Band Director
Jimmy Byrnes announced yes
terday, and nine other high
school girls have been named
eligible to try out for the major
ettes next year.
Those who qualified as candi
dates' for majorette next year
were Misses Jerry Alexander,
Janey Mae Cooley, Jonifa Dan
iel®, Rachel Ingleright, Gladys
Kennebrew, Joyce McCune, Pat
McManus, Carol Quillian and
Virginia Warren.
Some 20 girls tried out before
the band, and band members
voted on the ones who they
thought were the most promising
majorettes. Those voted on by the
band were approved by the fac
ulty before being eligible to try
out next year, and each girl
chosen was required to have an
average of “B” in high school
academic work.
The girls chosen to try out for
majorettes in next year’s band
will have the entire summer to
practice twirling and will be
judged on twirling alone next
vear, since they have already
passed the requirements of schol
arship, citizenship, and wppear
ance.
“The requirements are much
more strict than they have been,”
Director Byrnes said, “but no
more strict than the require
ments for a majorette should be.
The majorette should feel that
their job is an accomplishment
because of the requirements.”
Naming of co-captains for the
majorette corps was also a new
thing for the high school band,
since a single captain had been
chosen in past years.
