HISTORY -- 1998 Continuing the tradition on excellence set by
the performance in Atlanta, the MK’s performed in front of what may have
been the biggest football crowd in their history. On November 7, 1998 the
MK’s traveled to Auburn, Alabama to cheer on the Golden Knights. This was
Auburn’s homecoming and the game was sold out, with over 84 thousand
people in attendance. The Marching Knights halftime performance brought the
crowd to their feet and their hands together as the MK’s show awed the
84,000+ fans, humbled by our field presence. The ovation from the crowd
lasted for what seemed like an eternity, and the crowd was a buzz for the
rest of the halftime festivities over the bands performance.
Also in ‘98 the BOA Performance from ‘96 came back to reward the MK’s. The Band’s of America decided to move the South East Regional Championships to Orlando and the MK’s were asked to be the host band. This meant that the MK’s ran most of the event as staff and performed an exhibition show, again brining the attending High Schools and all others to their feet. |
