 Gotcha! No doubt some of you think they’re ALL jokers, but this one’s for real. Longtime marching music performer and adjudicator, Thomas Brown, has embarked on a new career, stand-up comic. This Reading, PA native and Buccaneer Hall of Famer now living in Phoenix , Arizona made his stage debut recently at The Comedy Spot in Scottsdale.
“Looking at it from a golf perspective, I believe I shot an even round. When you’re out there on that stage, it’s you all by yourself, there’s no other team member to pick up the slack,” said Brown. |

As his 82nd birthday approached April 30, Wes Peppers of Rapid City felt it was time to step down as director of the Seventh Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps. And fellow musician and band member Diane Barker of St. Onge was happy to accept the position that Peppers has held for nine out of the 13 years he belonged to the group.
The drum and bugle corps performs for thousands of people every year throughout the Black Hills, including this Memorial Day at Black Hills National Cemetery. Deadwood’s special events also are a regular gig for the group.
“Our musical repertoire is mostly marches, patriotic and Civil War songs mixed in with a little bit of novelty tunes. It is fun music that everyone knows and sings along with,” Barker said.
