30 years since this night and I still get chills and a lump in my throat.

This brings back memories of my brother James Helton! This was his senior year and now my son, his nephew is a senior and plays in the band in Macon. Forgot how big of a band Tift County was!! Awesome!

That was an amazing night! I will never forget it. Thanks for the leadership that you, Hankla, and Lickty gave us and for the foundation you gave us for the rest of our lives!

Thank you SO very much for posting this video. I have been looking for many years for a video of our band to show to my family - you have brought tears to my eyes! This was an amazing night, and I will never forget it. My years in the band were some of the happiest of my childhood. Thank you for your leadership and foundation you gave all of us!

Dude, we carried ourselves as one. We were all ONE!! No one was better than the other. If you sucked you were cut. That's the way.
