Princeton Marching Tigers Attended Inauguration 1985
School wouldn't have been half as fun for me if I had never discovered Marching Band. It was the pride of Princeton. We were proud of our band, our Band Boosters, and our great teachers and instructors that gave us a dream....to work together and achieve great things.

Although I don't remember much about this trip, many of my classmates remember that the Inaugural parade was cancelled due to the unbearable freezing temps. I remember the plane ride there, laying a wreath on the Unknown Soldiers tomb, and meeting a Guard for a briefing before laying the wreath, and not understanding a word she said, other than she was from Georgia. What a deep southern accent. She might have been messing with us. Go figure...years later I moved to Kentucky, and developed what some would say is a slight southern drawl.
I thought I'd let my fellow bandmates tell you what they remember. I asked for their pictures and comments, and these are some of the comments that were in the Princeton Memories page as well as some that I received from messaging some of them Tuesday evening.
