Down and Off
The Down and Off a podcast for members, alumni, friends, and family of the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band. Hosted by Alums John Brown ('85-'89) and Tim Clay ('08-'12). Our plan is to dive through the rich history of the HMB, interview folks from over the years, give you a chance to share your stories, learn about the HMB, relive memories, and share in the On Iowa cheer. This is a platform for alums to share their stories with others. #OnIowa #GoHawks
Down and Off
80's Alum Steven Jepson
John Brown and Tim Clay sit down with long time Alumni Band staple, Steven Jepson. Jepson shares about his time in the Fossil Band, how it's changed over the years, plus some great Hawkeye Marching Band memories, from road trips to Minnesota and Iowa State to tales of iconic director Dr. Morgan Jones to culminating his HMB career at the '82 Rose Bowl and playing Hey Jude.
John and Tim also plug the Kelly Piccolo Project GOLDrush campaign by UIowa and the HMB, raising money to buy piccolos to have on hand when players can't afford their own, in memory Kelly Enstrom. If you are able to and want to contribute, please do so below:
