You know, everyone keeps mentioning the Latina flair and earth, wind, and fire... I remember sitting in that stadium before he was director (from 2002-2006) as a student and also having a Latin halftime show, and also have a Motown show that featured EW&F. How come no one gave Wicks a hard time about it? The disco one was also pretty boring and Wicks did that almost every year.



This thread is suffering a lot from "Back in my day" syndrome. I was in the band from 87-89 and we played the hell out of some Latin Flair. Malaguena was a staple. I bet I could still play it from memory now if I had to.

I was never in the band, but seem to recall hearing "somewhere over the rainbow" one too many times in years past.

ETA - Way long ago. Nothing to do with Roy King or about his quality.

I was in the band from 1972-75. The director was Bill Swor. We did halftime shows with music current to that time-Blood, Sweat,and Tears, Chicago, Chase, as well as some big band sounds of the 40s and 50s. Current music in the 1970s was much different from current music today.
