The
Eddy Fowler Big Band (Now the East
Texas Jazz Orchestra)
played for the Troup Homecoming
of 2004
on
May 29.
The old gym-auditorium
was backed to the walls.
The Master of Ceremonies was Smith County Sheriff J. B. Smith. Sheriff Smith is always a good speaker. Saturday night he outdid himself talking about the positive things happing in America, and how the major news media skews it's news in an anti American negative way.
A
major part of the evening was dedicated
to the recognition and honoring of
our military veterans. Veterans were
recognized by both the wars in which
they served and was branch of the
military they represented.
Our band played each of the songs dedicated to each one of the military branches. These included the SeaBees, Merchant Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, and Air Force.
Of
course the major entertainment of the
evening was the music provided by the
Eddy Fowler Big Band led by Dr. Edwin
Fowler from Tyler, Texas.
