Lewis also rang the big barn's rafters with One Track Mind" as boogeying broke out spontaneously in the aisles and in front of the big stage throughout the night. The spirited and highly entertaining performance of Nashville singer Dianne Sherrill, who normally sings country, was perhaps the best this singer has done. This old country girl is going to rock tonight, Sherrill said. "We are rocking for the Red Cross." Shondell, a big Braves' baseball fan, performed his current record about the Braves Win Song.

The song could not keep the Braves from losing game six later Saturday night, however. Finally, at 10:30 p.m. it was time for The Drifters to take center stage. Members of the Nashville-based John Garr Band were thoroughly warmed up by this time to accompany the night's main attraction. "Ladies and gentleman," growled Wolfman Jack in his deep, raspy voice, "if you think you have seen good entertainment all night, and you have, you are now going to see and hear the best the best of the best Drifters." The Drifters huddled basketball team pre-game style prior to storming the stage.

The small crowd filled the auditorium with applause and cheering. Out came the smooth delivery the Drifters are known for. Audience members swooned and swayed as the Drifters harmonized and energized through their choreographed delivery The Roof." The Drifters are world-class gentlemen," said Red Cross executive director Nancy McGill. They want to come back to Murfreesboro if we ever need them." Another standing ovation greeted The Drifters when they smoothed into their version of This Magic Moment" and "You Can Dance." Mary Sue Brent of Nashville said it was a historic opportunity to see Wolfman Jack and his performing lineup of legendary rockers and rollers. "I want to get a copy Wolfman Jack's picture in the newspaper to show my son he is not dead," Brent said.

"I am not a living legend," Wolfman, age 54, told an interviewer. That status is reserved for JFK and Daniel Boone." "Wolfman was in town with nationally known rockers Bobby Lewis, The Drifters and Troy Shondell to raise money for the Rutherford County Red Cross Chapter's hurricane relief fund. Show organizerRed Cross board member Dan Howell of Murfreesboro was worried about attendance because of the World Series game between Atlanta and Toronto. "We had hoped the Series would be over by now," said Howell.

"I got a good feeling," Wolfman said optimistically in his limousine headed toward the Garden Plaza Hotel. Howell's concern proved accurate since the turnout for Saturday nighfs performance was small estimated in the 600-person range. Although small in number, the crowd was electrified as the performers played their hearts out in making their appeal for disaster donations. 1 am here because this music is good always has been and always will be," said Nashville school teacher Renata Harris, 32.

"All children who come through do not go through the simulator because some are intimidated, but the vast majority of the children do." "For example, next Friday we will have groups of 80, 85 and 35 children scheduled to tour the museum," Jeffrey said.

"It's just beginning to sink in on us this morning." Police are looking for a white -male between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall, brown hair, weighing between 160 and 175 pounds. The man wore tan dress pants, a light colored dress shirt and alligator skinned boots. His pistol was described as a small semiautomatic, possibly .25 caliber. "We dont think the perpetrator was local," Parker said.

Swann asked Councilwoman Mary Huhta, a recreation commissioner, about Council's thoughts on bond sales since, typically, they're done in the summer. Other projects will require bond sale proceeds, Huhta replied, recalling "what the county did to us on the schools." Rutherford County Commission borrowed money by selling capital outlay notes instead of school construction bonds, a difference which allows the county to keep all sale proceeds instead of being required to share money with the city. Murfreesboro plans to build a new school at Cason Lane and Cason Trace, but delayed purchase of another site for a second new school because it planned to use some $4 million it expected to receive from the county's bond sale.

Since construction will take a year, "We have to know something before March of next year," Rainier said, indicating March 1994 would be the start of the earliest season which 1 could use the fields. Council (Continued from page 1) Also recommended is an amendment to the Parks and Recreation Department budget to shift some $150,000 left over from an earlier bond sale to be combined with an expected $50,000 state grant to prepare the old McKnight Farm for a park. Parks and Recreation Department director Dennis Rainier said he planned to relay the recommendation to Council at its meeting tonight at 7:30, he said. "What would influence Council are revenue figures," said Doug Swann, chairman of the commission. If McKnight Park accommodates 12 baseball tournaments with 24 teams each year, gross sales to players and their companions may generate $847,800 for Murfreesboro businessmen, Rainier said in a March 2 report to Council.

This is based on an optimum situation," Rainier said. "But these fields are for our local citizens first Noting Councilman Chris Bratcher's previous observation that the city built three new schools and no new fields, Rainier agreed that Mur Bands (Continued from page 1) are only three ratings in the Contest of Champions because there are no bad bands in the event. They've all won superior or won contests before," he said. The contest is by invitation only. Oakland has scored superior this fall in the Music City and Vanderbilt Invitationals, and Riverdale has scored superior this fall in the Middle -Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Association competition, the Southern Invitational in Marietta, and the Hender-sonville Golden Invitational.

"It's hard to put weight on one event," Meers said. That's because a rating is based on how a band performs on a certain day and the opinion of individual judges. The Contest of Champions is the oldest and one of the biggest marching events in the country, band officials said. This was the 31st year for the event. The competition will be broadcast on national TV in November by the Public Broadcasting System.
