Old Corps Guy Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I now get to visit Allentown twice a year. East is always on the schedule unless I go to Finals. However, the band where I am a volunteer instructor has been competing at USBands - Nationals the past few years and we are going again this year. I just set up my tailgate across the from the HAM-FAM restaurant and enjoy the conversations every time. Many a story can and has been told about the Crum-Muncher over the years.

I'm proud to say I have never lost a show performing there. Six shows with DCA's Sunrisers... DCA prelims and finals, 1977-78 and 1982... six wins. Undefeated in Allentown. LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL My first year there, in 1977... the place was called Allentown School District Stadium. Not sure when the J. Birney Crum name was adopted. by the early 80's. He was a former coach and AD in the school district. I know this because we found him in my wife's grandmothers yearbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
