The Marquees were a high school group out of Sherman, TX, northeast of Dallas. They never recorded, but shared a small local live scene with Bill Galleon’s the Passions (“Lively One” / “You’ve Got Me Hurtin'” on Pic 1 records), the Jack Rafters and the Coachmen with Steve Chase.
Members were Mark Higgins and Mark Kennedy on vocals, Dan Witt and Elon Reynolds on guitars, Eddie Moughon bass and George Tocquigny on drums. They had a great website (http://thefabulousmarquees.com/history_01.htm – defunct as of 2022) with lots of photos and history of the band, and even some silent Super 8 footage.

They were a great band in those days. I know Elon and Mark from back in the days. Elon had and old Honda Motorcycle and he ran around with a friend of ours named Dickey Taylor.
