This video brings back so many good memories, and it validates that we were as good as I remember! I was in the band from 77 to 81. To Mr. Thomas - THANK YOU! He was a great band director, and he made band fun (well, most of the time!) It was hard work, but this video shows the work was worth it! Does anyone have the next year's contest tape? If so, please post it! That year was just as good if not better!
Thank you Mr. Ingram for the post. Wow...what memories !! This was back in the era of Stanley Walker and Raymond Thomas - two directors who turned this program around and started a great tradition for the Carthage High School Bulldog Band. If you have access to any other performances (especially 1973-1976), please post. Much appreciated. Thanks again !!
Your dad would know me..David Ingram. He taught me for a semester at Forest Park Middle School when I was in the 7th grade and got to know him again when when he came back to Carthage in the early 90's. I know your Uncle Jerry too. Glad you liked the post.
Besides "Carrolton March" (sp?), can anyone tell me what marches are being played?

What sort of drill is that in the first strain of Olympia Hippodrome? It looks sort of like a short waterfall.

Wow...I have seen a lot of military bands but the drill design around the 2:00 mark was really cool and something I have never seen done before.
