The Hawkeyes prevailed against Utah State and the Hawkeye Marching Band had a wonderful performance of the music of ABBA! It is officially footba- marching band season, and John and Tim have the honor of sitting down with Hawkeye Marching Band Director Dr. Eric Bush and Director of the Iowa Alumni Bands Jeff Sebille to get a preview of the HMB's season and Homecoming festivities!
First, Dr. Bush runs down the successes of Hell Week and performances at the Iowa State Fair and Hancher, previews the shows and trips for the upcoming year, praises the staff and leadership within the HMB, updates on the size of the band and what the generosity of the alumni has meant to the band, and plans for the future.
Around the 40 minute mark, Jeff Sebille shares his excitement for the 50th Iowa Alumni Band at Homecoming 2023. Jeff gives a history of the Alumni Band, walks through the schedule of the weekend, the Reception Thursday Night, the Parade & Picnic & post-Parade activities on Friday, logistics & planning for Saturday, ways to get Homecoming & Alumni Band apparel, and ends with a BIG SURPRISE for Alumni Band 50 at the 1:05 minute mark.
