Oh right! I knew I forgot someone. Bob Kalkofen. We used to call him "Uncle Bo Bo". He rode on bus 3 with the rest of us youngens. Don't know what happened to him. Someone at the hall may.

People that no one would know....

Ghost

GHOST - a name (and spirit) from the past. If my memory serves me correctly - he was originally a Boston Crusader that moved west.

Horn arranger/ instructor.... Gail Royer

Percussion arranger/ instructor.... Fred Sanford

Drill designer/ marching instructor/ guard.... Pete Emmons

Special mention to Don Angelica and "Chops" (I don't know how to spell his name but, you all know). Also, Alums Scott Pierson and Mike Hale. 

It's interesting for our guard because we didn't have a specific "caption head" or designer.  Pete would let us know what he wanted and then the Captain and  "lead" rifle would make up the work along with input from the rest of the girls. Seemed to work well as we managed to obtain high visual scores.

In my case: '70-'71 G.C. Ernie Modessett.  '72-'74, G.C. Patrice Alvarado, then '75 G.C.s,  Myself and Judy Edwards. And for the first time in Santa Clara history, someone who wasn't "in" the guard, the great Stanley Knaub who did both flag and rifle design.

Wasn't Joanna Avila guard Captian at one time?

I don't remember Larry being there in 1980 at all, sorry. Mark Sylvester was drill, not just for horns, but guard as well, one had the #1 side the other #2....and I thought Mike M. left after 79....I just don't remember from year to year. It was a small staff by todays standards I think!
