The “Red Raider Marching Machine” was a theme that band instructor, Jim Jones, used to describe the 1979 Wamego High School Marching Band. Our band rushed into the fall season by playing for the snake dance and strutted their way through many other successful performances. Forty-one band members and drum major, Diane Zoeller, attended a parade in Olathe, followed by a well-earned, fun-filled trip to Worlds of Fun, marched in the Rossville homecoming parade, football games, pep rallies, and a yearbook sales campaign assembly. The band’s highly praised performances were credited to hard work, determination, and early morning practices. The season ended on the evening of November 13, 1979, when the “Marching Machine” performed, in concert, their marching music of the fall season. 1.
