Alright, don't know what happened b4 1986 or after 1988 but those were the best band years - EVA!!! Concert, Marching and of course, jazz band with Mike "John Lennon" Tucker, the coolest ever!!! Wooooweeee!!! To all members, I'm honored to have been a part of us over my years at HHS!! Question, who is still playing their instrument, professionally or otherwise!!!

Being in the band was one of the highlights of my high school years (63-65). Would love to hear from members during that time.

So I never actually played an instrument, but I was a FLAG...and HEAD FLAG from 92-93. I loved being a part of the marching band. How is Mr. Blanton?

I was in the band at Pittman & Hueytown - played a saxophone - until graduating in 1969 - many fun years - where did they go???

I was in the band in middle school and one year in HS. I loved to twirl and was a majorette at Pittman and as a sophemore in HS. I had to be in the band to be a mojorette. Couldn't play the flute and couldn't stand Mr. Blanton. I tolerated Mr. Hulgan, but he didn't like me very much because I couldn't play my instrument. I finally quit because being a majorette wasn't worth being in the band. I still have my batons and have taught my oldest three girls to twirl.
I have great memories of being a majorette. We were great!!

I was in the band at Hueytown Elementary in 5th and 6th grades, then all through Pittman and HHS until I graduated in 1970. I played clarinet in both marching and concert bands. It was Mr. Hulgan in Pittman, and Mr. Vickers otherwise.

Band was my life from 6th grade on... Mr. Hulgan, Mr. Bradley. Played flute. Was a flag Senior year because a group of friends said I couldn't graduate without being something. I was something alright! Stomping around in that purple velvet outfit waving that flag. Had a good time. Went to college, joined the University of Alabama Chorus and Chamber Music ensemble. Seems like I could sing too. Who knew!
