Rare Footage! Caught on video! Not available in stores!
Monday, 05 January 2009
No, it's not Paris Hilton. It's not Governor Blagojevich, or Britney.
It's...the Fort Hunt High School marching band!  It's the Flag Corps, the majorettes, the cheerleaders and the drill team, from Homecoming 1974.
Bill Diehm, FHHS '76, saw the request below for Bobby Suggs' memorabilia collection, and generously offered his band letter. In the process, he came up with a Super 8 movie clip, which he digitized and posted to YouTube. Despite the lack of sound, it is great fun to enjoy a colorful, all-American, flashback.
Thank you, Bill, what an enjoyable trip back in time.

Band uniforms haven't changed in over 30 years but did you notice the young kids on bikes not wearing helmets!

Could not be 1974
written by Amy Gascoigne , June 01, 2009
That isn't Frank Wickes as director in 1974. That was the guy that came in in 1978 (yr of my graduation) after Frank went to Florida. P.S. Frank is retiring from LSU this year.
