1985 to 1988 big red marching machine under Robert Clark..I have to say after catching up over the years after Mr. Clark retired and the band stopped relentlessly competing and keeping up the awards and seeing the band shrink in size. The band lost its spark from the good old days. I just watched your 2017 show and video and seeing you guys receive the award from channel 4 for best band and watched your field show I see spark, I see team work, I a band come alive again. Today's field shows are about movement, speed, music creativiness, a field show of theatrics. Keep up the good work, work hard, as a team, watch your lines, listen to your music, play strong, high and low and watch your notes. The Big Red Marching Machine was a band that competed hard and gave its audience what it wanted. The public and judges loved our band. I love to come volunteer sometime with the band...and lend a hand, an ear, and experience. I watch all the DCI, DCA, Drum Corp, all the high school marching band competitions world wide, College bands, Hondas Battle of the bands, and Bayou Classic.
