| My second year and the guy on the left's first. That's the one and only Mr. Bob Matchett, aka MatchPup, RKM III, etc...he is successor to his father, Robert Matchett II's 30-something year reign as Seneca Valley Band director. |

| Note: Most of these pictures are from the band photographer, Mr.Main. A few are from Melissa's mom, and I "borrowed" the big picture of the entire band from Katie Lizzi Smith's old website. |

| And this one time, at Band Camp... |
 |
 |
 |
| Pictured above is the opening of our show, a rather lively, short piece entitled "Li'l Liza Jane". What was so unique about it was that one of the senior band members, known to most people simply as "Spitz" was up front singing with a microphone and the rest of us sang the chorus. |
 |
| ...and this one time, at band camp, we were eating lunch and I got bored or something, so I showed the other girls why I must NEVER EVER comb or brush my hair when it's dry and it got really big and they all thought it was really funny so they put Melissa Zallo's funky sunglasses on me and took a picture. That's Erin and Kristy's back above. They were two of our three captains. I'm not sure what's up with her expression... |
 |
| As a sort of test to make sure you know the routines well enough to perform on the field, we had tryouts to be allowed to perform in the Pie Festival and the first game. One usually went with just one or two other people in front of the tree captains. Pictured to the left are Erin and Kristy, trying out in front of the entire squad, for if we try out in front of them, who do they try out for?? Pictured here to the right us my side of the field just chilling out and waiting for whatever's next and below is the guard practicing for parades. |

| Picture Day |
 |
| To the left we have the whole group. Lower left is a bunch of banders filing into or out of the auditorium on picture day, and it looks like Tim in the lower right has a question! |

 |
| Posting this picture is worth ANY ass-beating I may recieve from you later on, Patrick! |
| Every year we participated in the Clarion Autumn Leaf Festival Parade. Here the band's just waiting around for our turn to march. Lesjack's in the middle in the top picture is in the top picture and TJ's in the picture below it in the left corner.. (I believe that's the same parade where I broke his hat...! Oops?) |

| Butler band representatives talk to Field Directors Eliza and Lori. |
| Ashley and I are just kickin' it in the stands. |
| Above, the entire band seems to be captivated by something. Below left, Sarah's making eyes at the camera and if Lesjack insists he never yells at anyone, what is he doing in the lower right picture then? |
| See, guard can dance! This was the little non-hoop portion of our feature song, Don't Get Around Much Anymore. Ok, Amanda and Ashley...one of you is definitely off! You guys could never keep the banner straight either. Ha ha. |
| That's Princess Stacy to the back, Cat Beth in front, and LEOPARD ME in the middle at the Halloween parade through Zelie. |
