Thanks to Raymond G Young and Sherman Hong, we weren't just a band but a band of brothers/sisters. Mr Young wanted a precise unit and we found ourselves a family. Hard work, long hours, sore muscles...happy hearts! Thanks, y'all!" Look Proud; Play proud; Be proud: You are the Pride of Mississippi." I sure hope that sign is still hanging up. [I'm the gal on Mr/Dr Hong's left!]

To Rie Allen Linton's remark, and as producer of the Senior Bowl Half-time for 44 years, I add: Ray Young and Sherman Hong were the best music educators, and jewels of musicianship showmanship I ever worked with. NBC also recognized and rewarded this work with full air-time. Such wonderful days for the PRIDE.

Think I read somewhere they are trying to get a big one together for next year's homecoming/anniversary celebration.

That's exactly the reason. Interest has not been too great, and we wanted to wait for a big event like the Centennial celebration year to begin the alumni band again. It should be great! We're still ironing out details.

Thank you to Lawrence and Bonnie WARREN hardly seems adequate for such a generous gift, but from one former DD's heart (1963-65); I say - THANK YOU. Thank you for helping the PRIDE of MISSISSIPPI Marching Band and DIXIE DARLINGS go to New York for the Macy's 2010 parade, where the entire nation will see their extraordi...nary talent. They will be representing not just USM, their organizations, and the decades of hard work that preceded them; but all Mississippians that day.We will all be sharing in Mississippi's Pride.Read More
