Grenadier Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Remember those hot summer nights after a parade walking hand with your best girl or boy friend who marched with you in the drum corp. After a parade walking through the fire department fairs, going on the ferris wheel and later going out for pizza. The bus rides home, your best girl or boy friend next to you in the seat on the bus. I was always a sucker for a girl in a skirt and boots with bom, boms. I know of at least two couples who got married and lasted a life time. I didn't end up with the girl who marched in the corps with me. "Thank God" I met a wonderful girl and we've been married for almost 50 years. But, how many of you married a girl in your corps and did it last? Grenadier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHall Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 First wife I met when I was teaching her corps. I had no intention of dating anyone from corps but...it happened. 2 years later we were married. Got an amazing son out of that marriage.

CHRISP Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 My first wife and I marched together. Got divorced but have a beautiful daughter who spins in winter guard. My current wife I met indirectly through drum corps - was teaching a marching band and my current wife's younger sister was in that band. That's how we met!!

Fran Haring Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Didn't marry my "drum corps sweetheart" as it were....LOL... but I did marry a drum corps girl. Barbara marched with DCA's Westshoremen when I was with the Long Island Sunrisers, late 1970s-early 1980s. We didn't know each other then... met several years later. Got married in 1991. She passed away in 2011... now, another drum corps lady is my fiancee!!! Brenda has marched with the Crossmen, Westshoremen, and Reading Buccaneers, and also with the Caballeros Alumni and Reilly Raiders Alumni.
