School Story:
One standout story of among many is the Redan Marching Band's participation at the 1976 DeKalb Marching Festival. After being in school just about 6 weeks and marching in nothing but jeans and baseball-style T-Shirts, the 30 or so members of that first marching band (dubbed DeKalb's "Baby Band" that year) performed first on the program and received a standing ovation. What a thrill!
