donincardona Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 One of the coolest memories in my long drum corps experience was in 1975......I marched in the Cadets of Greece, NY.......1975 Class A DCI champs and many other contests that year including US Open Class A! On returning from Ohio on our School Buses (seemed to take days!) we arrived about 12:30 am at our dropoff point,Northgate Plaza. We were all exhausted and in some state of half-slumber and imagine our suprise to have the Rochester Phoenix Drum Corps lined up to do a "park-n-blow" runthru of their show!!!!! It was in honor of winning the US Open title and they all gave up their respective time to do a concert for us!! CLASS ACT! WE all woke up real fast after the hit in their opener of "Firebird/Light my Fire" and loved the special concert for us and the familys meeting our corps......Cool Beans! gary where have you been? hows you wife doing? well i hope. i emailed you acoupla times. never heard how she was doing. never got the video from dca either. i hope all is well.

zarblap Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) about the partying before thing..we had a member that would get so nervous before a show we had to pour something down his throat before we went on (j.joy) and that was way back in 1967 when I was only 16. Been doing it ever since, just became part of pre-show warmups for some of us and all the drumlines I played in always kicked ### Edited February 3, 2008 by zarblap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
