The Smith-Cotton Tiger Pride Marching Band had some extra baggage to pack for its trip home Tuesday from the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
The band won nine first-place trophies for its parade and field performances over the weekend, but the biggest honor for some of the musicians was the opportunity to share the field at halftime of the bowl game with the legendary Temptations. In a quirk of circumstance, the band’s marching show this season carried a Motown theme and included the Temptations’ “Papa Was A Rolling Stone.”
