Steven: Just thought I’d bring out a comment from the last post…

Talk about an old-timer! Try ‘57-’61. I believe that was Dr. Hinton’s 2d year. I was section leader in the t-bone section for three years. I don’t have too many “colorful” stories about Bodie, other than he was not not only a great band director, but a great role model to a lot of us who really needed one in those days.

I remember those Thursday night pep rallies and rehearsals following. When Bodie jumped up and down and said, “Let’s go old folks. My grandma could do better than that!”,we responded rather positivel (lol)!

The present Auburn Band is great and does a lot of things we didn’t do, but the pipe-organ sound on the football field and in the stands has never been duplicated. The times, they are a-changing, amen?

War Eagle from an old-timer,
