The Hot Ice Band will be performing for Crossland High Schools' 20-Year Reunion at the Torpedo Factory on Saturday, August 12, 2000. The band has recently replaced retired lead singer Kyle Johnson with two new lead singers (as reflected in their website), however, by special request from our reunion committee, he will rejoin the band for our event. We asked Bobby Thomas to say a few words on the bands' beginnings and the many Crossland alumni from our era that played one role or another with the band, mainly during it's infancy while we were all still in school. His comments follow:

"Hot Ice was formed in 1975, in the basement of my parents' house. Our first gig was in the fall of 1975 at a church talent show. We played 4 songs at the function, and since none of the members were over 12 years of age, we did well because of the cute factor. We then mainly did parties, banquets and the occasional open mic night at local clubs. We also played at a Crossland High School function in 1980 or 1981. I can't remember.....I'm getting old. We played at a lot of different high school functions along the way, (proms, homecomings, benefits, etc.) at other schools. The band has gone through many changes, including many more musicians that were not included in the list because they went to a different school. Here are the Crossland High School people who have had one or more roles with Hot Ice. There were many others that helped out. If your name was omitted, we deeply apologize. We can truly blame our loss of memory on the fact that we are getting up there in age."
