Tribute to R. Thomas Powell, retired band director for the Severna Park High School Falcon Marching Band for 45 years from the early 1970's thru 2014. He is loved and respected by his thousands of musical students that were honored to win numerous awards and championships under his leadership, but it's the memories of this huge musical family that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.
The video contains marching band pictures from the mid to late 1970's set to the drum cadence performed by the 1977 SPHS drum line.
If you were in the SPHS Band, please share your favorite band memories in the comments section below.
