This episode will be very different from our previous ones. As many of you know by now, our Hawkeye Marching Band family lost one of our greatest legends, Dave Woodley, who passed away on the morning of May 21. He was an HMB member, Drum Major, Assistant Director, and the 9th Director of the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band. Dave also led the marching bands at the University of Louisville and Indiana University during his career.
The overarching theme of this podcast series – based on our visits with several guests who have spanned many periods of the HMB’s modern era – is that HMB is family. At a time like this, we wanted to bring this family together to remember Dave, honor his accomplishments and talents and share stories and memories of him. As a family, we are heartbroken over his passing. He leaves a huge void in HMB lore, and we would be remiss if we didn’t take time to show our appreciation, respect and love for Dave and his tireless work for this family.
On this episode, we will be visiting with Dr. Eric Bush, Dr. Timothy Todd Anderson, and Arlene and Andy Houk who offer their thoughts and memories of Dave and what he meant to them and to the Hawkeye Marching Band. We close with a recording of "There Are Giants Among Us" by the Indiana University Wind Ensemble, conducted by Rodney Dorsey, and arranged by Dr. Timothy Mahr.
It is our way of saying “thank you” to him for all he did for us. -
Down & Off Episode 3 comes to you from across the Atlantic, all the way from The Hague! John and Tim are delighted to be joined by Arlene & Andy Houk, who reminisce on their time in the "Golden Era" of the Hawkeye Marching Band (Andy's words) in the early Fry Era. They share their story of growing up in Ottumwa, joining the HMB, Andy joining the pep band in the old Field House, bowl trips and road trips, so many friendships, and their connection to the HMB after graduation. Come see them at Homecoming 2022!
