Following a homecoming performance at Friday’s game, Warrior Marching Band members traveled to Minnesota Saturday

for the Waseca Marching Classic. There, WHS took second overall in the

morning parade, earning the highest score of the day in Musical Execution.

“The Worthington (Minn.) band only does parades,” director Mark Diischer said. “In a way,

that is their entire season, and the only thing that they focus on. The fact that our band prac-ticed only a few times for the parade and came only about two points short is a testament to the skill that is developing in our members.”

Following the morning parade, the band attended a clinic where judges gave immediate feedback to help the Warriors improve for future events.

Unfortunately, just as the evening competi-tion was getting under way, a fast-moving severe storm hit the area. Following multiple lighting strikes, hail and a city-wide loss of power, the evening event was canceled.

“We really did not want to miss the field show, especially because the judges made a point to say that they were looking forward to seeing us in performance,” Diischer said. “I know that our band would have ended in the top two spots in the competition, especially given our music scores during the parade. Even so, we were very happy with how the students and parents per-formed under the stressful conditions.”

Next, the band will head to the Marching Dutch Invitational Saturday in Pella, Iowa.

“This week, our goal is to focus on cleaning all the changes in the show, refining our marching moves, and enhancing the music so that our per-formance is the best this season,” Diischer said.

Training Corps (JROTC) students at WHS recently elected new leaders to fulfill several high-ranking posi-tions within their ranks.

Among those promot-ed this year are Battalion Commander senior Jordan Schanzenbach, Battalion Executive Officer senior David Eichmann and Battalion Command Sergeant Major senior Deven Dubbelde.

Other leadership pro-motions include seniors Zachery Halverson, Chase Sterk, Aimee Sebesta and Nathan Englert to the posi-

tions of Battalion Personnel

Officers and seniors Wyatt Hansen and Tony Stellingwerf to Commanders of A Company and B Company, respectively.

These JROTC students were elected by their fellow JROTC members to these

positions, and will be rep-resenting both WHS and the WHS JROTC at vari-ous local, state and national competitions and JROTC activities throughout the school year.

Schanzenbach agreed it will be an honor to lead.

“Being in JROTC has been a great experience for me,” Schanzenbach said. “I’ve grown not only as a leader, but also as a person. Being Battalion

Commander will only make the experience bet-ter for me and hopefully I can make the experience of JROTC better for others.”

Schanzenbach was elected to the highest cadet leadership position avail-able at WHS, Battalion Commander.

Eichmann, second in command as the Battalion Executive Officer, said he is also enthusiastic for his new role in the battalion.

“I believe that the bat-talion this year has a lot of future leaders and that the JROTC future as a whole looks very bright,” Eichmann said. “I look for-ward to a great year leading some great cadets.”

Instructor Rodney Bur-meister said he is looking for great things this year.

“I’m extremely privi-leged to have such a moti-vated class of leaders this year,” Burmeister said.

Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at WHS selects leadership for year

Creating tomorrows leaders today. . .

History.com (MCT)Amid much public

excitement, American explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark returned to St. Louis, Mo., from the first recorded overland journey from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast and back on this date in 1806.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition had set off more than two years before to explore the ter-ritory of the Louisiana Purchase.

Even before the U.S. government concluded purchase negotiations with France, President Thomas Jefferson commis-sioned his private secretary Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, an army captain, to lead an expedi-tion into what is now the U.S. Northwest. On May 14, the “Corps of Discovery,” left St. Louis for the American interior.

The expedition trav-eled up the Missouri River in six canoes and two longboats and wintered in North Dakota before crossing into Montana, where they first saw the Rocky Mountains.

After passing through the dangerous rapids of the Clearwater and Snake rivers in canoes, the explorers reached the calm of the Columbia River, which led them to the sea. On Nov. 8, 1805, the expedition arrived at the Pacific Ocean, the first European explorers to do so by an overland route from the east. After paus-ing there for winter, the explorers began their long journey back to St. Louis.

Over two years later, on Sept. 23, 1806, the expedition returned to the city, bringing back a wealth of information about the largely unex-plored region, as well as valuable U.S. claims to Oregon Territory.

Lewis and Clark return today in 1806
