Once again, Lone Star found itself moving, this time to the campus of Texas A&M Commerce. The corps also decided
to take the risk and move up to Division II.
It was
decided that a more crowd pleasing show was needed. The creative change chosen was doing a jazz show based on the music
of Buddy Rich.
The show
was entitled "Hot Sounds of Cool Jazz". The music included Backwoods Sideman, Mercy Mercy Mercy, Storm at Sun-Up, and
Love for Sale (from Night and Day).
In some ways
it was a very difficult season for the corps. many staff changes and a few member problems put the corps initially off-balance
and clouded what many would confirm was a very successful year.
The corps came
out with it's largest and most talented group yet. And despite the obstacles, the corps
performed their program very well. The corps found itself again a crowd favorite. They ended taking 11th at Division
II prelims and scored a 79.6, far higher than was expected at the beginning of the season.
