In addition to the 21 Portettes and 35 flag girls, there were 125 marching musicians who started off playing "The Thunderer," a John Philip Souaa t u n e , t o celebrate the foot- boll game and to represent Sousa's home town. "Music, Magic, end Motion," the theme of the parade, was an accurate description of the marching group, according to Mr. Jeffrey Byrne, co-director of the band and organizer of the Flag Corps. They were the fourth high school marching band and the sixth marching band to appear in the parade. Teri McCuUough and Michael Tokarz led the group carrying the banner emblazoned w i t h the Schreiber viking. Next came tb» Portmtt0M following the rou- tine developed by Mrs. Carol Paquelte, advisor of the Portettes. The three drum majors, Maria Bartini, Lisa McCullough, and Brian Ullman, followed marching in step and setting the tempo for the band behind them. The Flag Corps, a new organization started last year, brought up the rear wav- ing flags that showed Schreiber's colors, blue and white. Mr. Byrne and Mr. Wil- liam Fish, the other co-director of the band, marched alongside the group in uniform. After "The Thunderer," the band played "Washinton and Lee Swing" and then "Proclama- tion." During "Washington and Lee Swing" the entire group swayed back and forth to ani- mate the performance.
