Musclesstiffen as they stand at attention, waiting.. .Breezebreak! Suddenly, all are catapulted into action — talking,laughing, some simply standing, until the breeze diesdown and the concentrationis once again turned to thework at hand. From sceneslike these during band campin July, the Panther Regiment went on to place second in their season finale inOhio.1991 was a year of improvement, according to director Robert Dubinski.From start to finish, thisband and color guard improved more than any groupIve ever taught, Dubinskisaid. Many hours of practicewere necessary to masterbasic skills, since almost 30of the participants were newto the program. We allpulled together at practices,said junior Andy Bruce.Although the band alsoperformed during halftime atall home football games, themain focus of their seasonwas the weekend competitions.
