We are pressing ever onward with the production of our show.  The Regiment is finished with football games and can now focus on competitions.  We have had one show thus far and the next one is coming up fast.  I see improvement not only in the show but especially in the quality of rehearsal.  The students are figuring it out that if you want your best performance you must first give your best rehearsal.  We don't have the number of staff members of the past due to our lack of funds.  Students have had to take a more active role in their learning process.  The end result is more ownership and pride in what they are producing.  It has taken longer to reach our goals but now that they are using the knowledge they have gathered they are making more dramatic results in cleaning the show.
     I want to thank the leaders, the boosters, and the staff for your persistence, patience and participation.  Together we can all reach our goals.  No matter what the outcome we all had a good time getting their together.  Here's to the season ahead!
                                                                         - Sandra Hench
