Brian Hayward (second from right) during recent game. Last fall Brian Hayward was a featured performer both during Gobles football games and then again at halftime with the marching band. Hayward was running back and linebacker for the SAC North Division Conference Co-Champs, and one of two senior trumpet players in the award-winning high school marching band; both head football coach Jim Wiseley and band director Emily Cox proudly featured Hayward's talent every Friday night for the Gobles Tigers.
This fall his talent is still on display on the football field, but now it's in front of 110,000 fans in Ann Arbor as a member of the University of Michigan Marching Band. Brian earned the fourth-chair spot with the Marching Wolverines, meaning he is the fourth-best trumpet in a band with a total of nearly seventy trumpets, a rare feat for a college freshman in one of the premier college marching bands in the country.
Hayward has been busy since starting college this fall at U of M, but will make time to return to Gobles early this football and marching season to work with the band and to cheer his team to victory, or perhaps Hail the Victors Valiant, during a home football game on the field where he grew up as an athlete and musician.
