HISTORY -- 1986 As a result, Roger Newburn was hired as the
second Marching Knights Band Director in 1986. With this change in
leadership, the size of the nights declined to under 100. However, the
spirit and enthusiasm of these years has stood out in the history of the
Knights to this day. Mr. Newburn allowed some of the talented officers to
write and teach the drill for many of the shows. In addition, the Knights
changed initiation from only one night into a weeklong ceremony. In the following year, which turned out to be Mr. Newburn's last, the Knights performed an exhibition at the FBA District Competition playing the infamous "NBC" theme. |
