Big Red Marching Machine 2018......"In The Beginning"

The 2018 Big Red Marching Machine show is entitled "In The Beginning" and serves as a tribute to the rich fifty year history of the PHHS Marching Band being referred to as "The Big Red Marching Machine".  In 1968, Mr. Eric Payton coined the phrase "Big Red Marching Machine" and it has become synonymous with excellence in the Blue Water Area.  

Below is a show promo video created by BRMM Alum, Coach and Advocator-Supreme, Mr. Jeremiah May.

Enjoy.........GO BIG REDS!!!

Words Are Not Enough!!!!

This summer saw the end of an era in "Big Red Country" as we lost a true Big Red treasure.........after over a decade of "helping" with the Big Red Marching Machine at every practice, festival, trip and performance, Mr. Bill Veal announced that he would not be returning as a Big Red "Coach".  Mr. Veals tireless, selfless contributions to the BRMM can never be measured....the lives he touched as both a teacher and mentor will forever be shaped by his dedication and devotion.
​

​THANK YOU Mr. Veal.........Once a Big Red.....Always a Big Red!!!!!

The PHHS School Song or "Fight Song" as it is called today, was composed in 1941 by Orville Payton as part of a school-wide contest for students attending Port Huron High School.

                        
"Come On and Join Our Song For Port Huron High
The Best School In This Land
Grand and Glorious, We'll Be Victorious,
The Red and White Shall Stand

Oh, She's The Stronghold Of Our Community,
She Stand's For All That's Right!
So Fight, Fight, Fight For Alma Mater
And Show Them With Our Might

CHORUS
               
Fight!  Fight!  Fight!  Fight!
On To Victory

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Shall Our Watchword Be

To Pledge Our Loyalty

In Hearts That Are United,

Of Days We Spent Together

To Make Achievements Great
