At first it was an impossible dream, but as band members began to work, the dream became reality Some people thought it could never be done. They said, “How can one band from a little town like Port Huron raise $130,000? Even if it is for the Olympics?” But as you know, the band proved people wrong. The Marching Machine played everywhere trying to raise the money so desparately needed. Although some kids were ready to give up, Mr. Payton kept the morale up. But soon the day came when the money was counted and all the work and effort was worthwhile. In addition to the money raised by the band, a contribution of $50,000 from two Detroit foundations help put the band over the top. Over 200 band members helped raise the money to make the memorable trip to Munich and the Olympics. It seemed like the band did just about everything to raise money. They played and performed in parades, at dinners, and in concert. They washed cars, sold candy, sponsored a teeter-totter marathon, and worked at various area businesses in return for financial assistance. The kids at school became so ac- customed to the band’s fund raising drives that they soon wondered what the band would be doing next. 22
