Alumni Band to March in Parade

by Elizabeth Pitts-Hibbard

Marlow Band Director Billy Daniel issued an invitation this week for current and former band members to dust off their instruments as the 10th Annual Alumni Band makes a triumphant return to the Fourth of July Parade.

“This is a great opportunity to see people you haven’t seen in a while, play your instrument, or, if you have family members who are currently in the High School Band, to play alongside them,” Daniel said.

The band was unable to play at the parade in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, and Daniel said that he hoped this year would be the largest band yet.

The Alumni Band will meet at 8am in the high school parking lot to warm up and run through the Marlow Outlaw Fight Song before lining up to join the parade.

Participants are asked to contact the Marlow High School office at 580-658-1515 to RSVP, and to let staff know if an instrument and/or a copy of the fight song music is needed. Music and instrument requests must be received by Thursday, July 1.
