Booker T. Washington - Houston

Word on the street is that Edwin "Pops" Bigsby is stepping down as band director in Aug 2009. Is this true? Anyone with information please respond. If true he will be the last of the old guard at Washington School.

  • I remember when Booker T. Washington use to be a beast! Pops knew how to put on a field show. I mean they wasn't on the legendary level of Willowridge/Smiley/Forest Brook, but you knew you were in for a hella battle when you went against the Baby Ocean of Soul.
  • If Pops step down... who's gonna be the next director? I think they need a TxSU graduate. Southern would be too much of a change.
  • Oh LAORD SO I GUESS THIS MEANS HISD...Is ABOUt TO GET HIT BY THe BABY OCEAN......CANT WAIT TO SEE Mr KNIGHt IN ACTION ONCE AGAIN:
    Correction!... Mr. Bigsby HAS officially retired.

  • Pops has been about to step down for a few years now....I beleive it when I see it...Somebody please go to thier feeders because they were the only school In HISD That I knew of that started kids in Elementary (Burros used to have a nice band, I might have spelled that wrong)
  • I say a PV grad...

    But I had 2 Uncles that marched around 65 or something and "Pops" was there. Its time to pass the baton along.

  • I would like to see the new band director build on the tradition that POPS left. They should remain the baby ocean of soul.
