Indoor guard squads get off to good start | By MICHAEL TWICHELL Post Correspondent BACK MOUNTAIN - The Dallas and Lake-Lehman indoor color guard programs are in full swing for the 1998 Tournament Indoor Drill Association (T.I.D.A.) com- petitive season. Dallas debuted its program in early February at Southern Lehigh High School, and has since ap- peared at two other shows, most recently this past weekend at Northampton High School, earn- ing three consecutive first place finishes in scholastic A-class. “This is the best season we've had so.far,” said Heather Baldauff, Dallas guard instructor, “and it’s been really - exciting to see the program develop over time.” The Dallas show, which Baldauff describes as, “a. non- literal interpretation of Amazing Grace,” featuring a vocal rendi- tion by Judy Collins, and a musi- cal interpretation by Mark O'Connor, has been well received at the shows. “We tried to move deeper into creative writing, and to challenge the students’ skills and understanding of the pro- gram,” said Jerry Baldaulff, assis- tant instructor. Lehman has made two appear- ances so far, including the Northampton show where they won first place in open-class com- petition. “The show is coming along very nicely, and the kids are becoming more comfortable with the program,” said John Taggart, Lehman Instructor. Lehman's presentation, a de- piction of Heaven and Hell, has also been a crowd pleaser.

Since then the staffs organized rehears- als and began writing their shows. According toTaggart, “Now we just keep adding subtleties to bring it to life.” This process will continue until the end of the season in May.
