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 Dave "Big Al" Griggs
Humbly talented co-hosts Tim Clay and John Brown sit down with a friend from John's marching days, Dave "Big Al" Griggs. John and Dave catch up, remembering old shows, traditions, parties, and directors. Where did the "Big Al" nickname come from? Dave was in the marching band for how long?! Give the episode a listen!
Also, a special thanks once again to those of you who reached out and donated to the Kelly Piccolo GOLDrush project. Thanks to your contributions, they were able to reach and exceed their goal, purchasing not only a line of game day piccolos, but other instruments for those who need them. All in Kelly's memory, and we thank you for that.
