KeithHall Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 If drum corps didn't change in 1972, lets say AL and VFW still ruled drum corps, would we be here talking about drum corps? Would we have as many or more corps as we did in 1971? I think if the activity didn't change we would be looking at NOTHING! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Thunder Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The young people of this country (and many instructors/directors) would have been tired of the military organizations, and the way they ran drum corps a L---O---N---G time ago.

elphaba01 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 "The Marching Dead?": As "Bad' as those old VFW and Legion organizations were said to have been, please remember: that's where the activity STARTED. As someone who grew up with Legion and VFW championships at the State and National levels, (1958-1966) we were very lucky to have those titles to shoot for. It seems to be in vogue to badmouth those old Veterans organizations, but please be advised: That's WHERE the DRUM CORPS activity came from.

Yes, that's where it started, but it wouldn't work in 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
