The Dow Marching Band was a rigorous experience. If we messed up we had to run laps and do pushups. I lost 20 lbs. during marching band season.
We performed at the Detroit Silverdome when the Dow High Chargers were the state champions in football.
I was the first kid in band to have a silver plated trumpet. I liked the one Doc Severson played on the Tonight Show. Once I had my silver trumpet it was not long until every kid in the trumpet section had one. The silver color went well with our new uniforms.
