Big Bands Come to town Marching right into the hearts of the Richmond Community, the University of Wisconson band stopped overnight on its way to Columbus, Ohio. The band brought a special touch that only a Big Ten band could add to RHS homecoming festivities. This was the first Big Ten band to come through Richmond since 1961. Throughout the game the 280-member Wisconson band paid tribute to Richmond, various sections serenaded the crowd, and the pom-pom girls cheered Richmond High to victory by performing little dance routines with the help of the percussion section. The band’s performances at halftime and after the game included an Ohio formation and a Marcel Marceau routine. All evidenced musical and marching excellence. We thank Mr. LaCrone, Mr. VarneU’s college music teacher, and his wonderful group for adding extra grand touches to a memorable homecoming game. The RHS band helped with the homecoming festivities by participating in the parade and performing a pre-game and post-game routine. Band members also enjoyed getting better acquainted with the Badgers by entertaining them overnight. On and off the field it was a fun experience.
