MillsbOrO High Marching
Band Lauded
The Millsboro High School
Marching Band, II members strong,
is being recognized as one of the
most improved musical units in
Sussex County. With So instrument
tai players, majorettes, men,
bers of the Color Guard and cheer
leaders working under the field di-
rection of Patricia Ellingsworth,
drum majorette, the band has cap
tured the interest of fans during
it's appearances at football contests
this fall. Mrs. Helen Shirley, musi-
cal director, and Robert Good, the
marching and drill instructor, have
nodded the Blue and Gold Band in
to a precision-drilled outfit capable
of highly intricate maneuvering.
During the half time of the Sell
byville- MillsborO game last week,
the band staged show featuring
formations such as a river steam
boat, and human bow and arrow,
as well as the less complicated let
ter formation. Highlighting the oc-
casion was the fire baton-twirling
on the darkened field by Miss Ell
lingsworth, accompanied by the
band. Before the game and during
the half, the band staged various
drills of precision marching.
The highest compliment to be
paid the band has been the return
of spectators to their seats or the
sidelines to watch it in operation
during the half time. The band is
now in preparation for its part at
the Delaware-Te game this
Saturday.
