WVU had a nice rep back then. I remember being at BOA Nationals with a WVU jacket on and I couldn't tell you how many people made commits about how good WVU's band was.
He was a great band director, learned alot from him. Amazing job really, such a big band. Thing I remember most is the biggest cheer on sat was the pride taking the field.
Good times then, lots of kids started heading to Garfield (esp perc) several guys on Garfileds staff were WVU perc majors. I was the lone Bloo at the time.
