I hear that about the Brassmen. One of the best-kept secrets in drum corps. Great corps, ahead of its time. All the "what if" scenarios if they had attended the first two DCI championships. They were more than good enough to make Finals both years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm wondering if this thread should be moved to the historical forum, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either there was a fence around the football field or the seats were real close to the field. Whatever the reason, the corps said they could not march their routine and the head judge would not make any changes. As the story was told to me, as the contest continued, you could see the tail and break lights of the St. Rita's busses heading up a small hill, heading home, and supposedly, they never competed again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCA They were a Corps ahead of its time... an inspiration to the modern day Couchmen. Hamms and Schmidt’s Indians which I think were same corps but different brewery owners and different years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, Oblong is the name of a city in Illinois. There was a published photo of one of the corps' booster buttons in a 1950s drum corps magazine.

Northern Thunder Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 There was also the failed experiment to call the corps from Seattle's Kennedy High School the Mouchoirs, which means tissue or handkerchief in French. Nobody knew how to pronounce the name, or what a Mouchoir was, so eventually the corps became the Continentals, and they lasted through 1979. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
