Obstacles Mark 1 976 Float Building Float building in 1976 faced unusual problems. Just ask the seniors and sophomores. Seniors Lori Herbert , Rob and Ron Grant , and Debbie Burnell helped launch their float to a good start . But building slowed gradually until the float came to a sudden stop (against a tree). The juniors were off to a slow start with Jerry Jowett , Kathy Grant , Pete Peterson , Mikey Hindes, and Annette Crimmins, just to name a few, working from the start. The juniors finished with a full house of workers. The sophomores were right at home building their float. Mary Shonka, Colleen Bright, and Howard Stevens along with others, worked hard . The sophomores had first place wrapped up until their float collapsed in the middle of 24th Street on the way to the parade . The Class of ' 80, like other freshman classes, was lost for a time . But they soon got it all together with the help of Rich Dusellier, Nancy Warner, and Brenda Dawson. 17

Parade The Big Reds’ Homecoming parade consists of a lot more than just the floats of the classes. Marching along the streets of Port Huron , filling the air with the cadence of marching and the sounds of music , is the Big Red Marching Machine. Nationally known for their travels and performances , spectators lined along the parade routes looking forward to seeing and hearing the latest edition of the Machine . Mr. Eric Payton, along with his army of helpers and assistants, watched with pride as the Machine ' s various groups, such as the Sign Bearers , Display Flags , Color Guards , the Thunderbirds , as well as the Band itself , presented itself before the judging stand. Also an important part of the parade was the long line of cars carrying such important people as the homecoming queen candidates and escorts .
