I'm a Hawkeye Marching Band fanatic! I was a member of the Hawkeye Marching Band from 1984 to 1988. I participated in bowl games in San Diego and Anaheim California, and the grand daddy of them all the Rose Bowl in 1986. During my band career, we travelled to Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana and Northwestern. We travelled to a pre-season game as well, at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, man what a bus ride.... It was an awesome experience, back in the day of Hayden Fry, Chuck Long and the like.
Anyway, I'm a proud Mom of one of the newest band members, my daughter Liz, and looking forward to 8 years of cheering first Liz, then my youngest daughter Tori with the band. Liz plays the trumpet, Tori plays the mellophone.
Liz brought home a recording of this seasons' marching band performances. Those of you who are my 'friend' on facebook have seen these already, but for those of you who aren't my facebook friend, i'll post the links here for you to enjoy.
My Alumni Band performance, Homecoming Oct 2010, Iowa vs. Penn State
Liz and the junior band at the Insight Bowl, doing pre-game, but never as good as the old fossil version!
And highlights of the season, the Insight Bowl performance, and the corresponding performances from the regular season at Kinnick Stadium.
GO HAWKS!
