v In 1988 the Linden Eagle Marching Band managed to capture their 3rd consecutive state championship. Con- tinuing with their innovative approach, Linden chose a show based on Andrew Lloyd Weber ' s Musical Phantom of the Opera . The show complete with masks, capes, and a magical organ was centered around three characters: The Phantom (Brian Soules), Raoul (Robb Goddard), and Christine (Maria Woodbury) The season, which the band started in Flight 3 (bands with membership of 70 or below), began with the band tak- ing 1st place at West Bloomfield and Clarkston Invitationals. But the band then chose to rise to Flight 2 (bands with membership of 71-110), which was followed by a second place finish at the Michigan Invitational, which has been traditionally one of the bands better shows. The defeat gave the band new momentum as they gave an excep- tionally moving show at the John Glenn Contest, which increased their score twelve points and earned them a first place finish. At the Durand Invi- tational the band took second place be- hind the 110-member Lakeview marching band from St. Clair Shores. It seemed doubtful that the 72 mem- bers of Linden could beat the 110 members of Lakeview and pull off their third state championship. Lin- den ' s preliminary performance at the state finals left much to be desired. The score, however did place them in the finals show where they gave the best show of the season, which came to an emotional ending with most of the band members crying their way off the field, and to their third state champi- onship. The smallest Linden band ever received the highest Linden score ever — an 82.7. The band then went on to the Grand National Championship at the Pontiac Silverdome where they re- ceived a score of 77.25 and placed 27th out of the 54 bands that attended. In all aspects the band had the most suc- cessful season to date and they hope to continue this and possibly quadruple their state championship title. : aK:. »;ii. »i ' Sj i»« »!»:«aig» ' S .
