The Rice University marching band satirized Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles Saturday amid a controversial state takeover of the district. Rice's Marching Owl Band, known as The Mob, spoofed the Austin Powers movies by portraying Miles as Dr. Evil in their Saturday halftime performance against Texas Southern University. "Our script producers have friends and acquaintances both as HISD teachers and as parents of students, and they had been outspoken about their feelings," Rice director of bands Chuck Throckmorton told Houston Public Media's Adam Zuvanich when asked about how the band came up with the satirical performance. "It was also just too delicious a coincidence to miss that the βAustin Powers' movies star Mike Myers, and Mike Miles was just way too close of a name to use as Dr. Evil," Throckmorton added. βπ» Michael Murney π· John Israel . . . #marchingband #band #halftimeshow #HISD #HoustonISD #MikeMiles #Texas #Teachers #HoustonTeachers #houston #hou #htown #houstontexas #houstoncity #htx #houstonnews #hounews
