Homewood HS band
"November 19, 1988: Homewood High School's band performed at the start of the race." We did? I don't remember that. (Not saying it didn't happen.) I'll have to dig out my 1988 calendar, although I probably didn't write it down. --Lkseitz 11:37, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
- Just going by what their website says. Although I think I would have remembered showing up downtown at 6:00 in the morning in mid-November. --Dystopos 12:45, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
- I looked at my calendar from 1988. It's not on there, but two weeks before we were hosting the South Central Marching Classic at Waldrop Stadium. Two weeks later we were marching in Macy's Christmas Parade in Atlanta. (I do remember the parade. We spent the whole time looking up at the Donald Duck balloon's butt.) Both of these events are mentioned in a December 1988 school newspaper article about the band, but not the Vulcan Run. Furthermore, it's unlikely – but not out of the question, I admit – Pat Morrow, our director, would have scheduled two appearances so close together. I think perhaps the Vulcan Run people got a date confused. Still, I've sent a message to my fellow classmates in case they remember it. --Lkseitz 18:34, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
